My childhood reader copy is a second printing of this issue, I still have it. Little did I know then that it was one of the rarest DC Universe logo variants. For years I wondered if a copy of this elusive second printing would ever surface in 9.8 grade, in September of 2019 one finally appeared on eBay, with a $1000 asking price. That price was too rich for my blood, I started negotiating and the seller and I worked out a good deal. This special piece is one of the Crown Jewels of my Death and Return of Superman set. I owe Iconic1s my gratitude, he had the means and desire for this book when it was first listed but he held off, giving me a chance. Thank you, friend.

Story continued in Superman: The Man of Steel #21 (3/93).
