![]() Kudos to DC Comics for putting the band back together and doing an 80-page special with the same four creative teams who were on the Superman books in 1992. I didn’t see too many younger fans where I was shopping, but plenty of guys my age (yes, I know, that made me sound old…) were there sharing stories and buying copies of the new black bag, including me. It was nothing short of earth shattering!įorty year old me had a smidgen of all of that emotion when I went to my local comic store last week to buy the 30th Anniversary special. ![]() News clips of lines around the corner of the local comic shop and people grabbing bundles also ran across the airwaves. The black bag, the arm band, the image of the tattered cape flapping in the wind on top of rubble became iconic. ![]() Each issue sold like crazy and received several printings, and the eventual trade paperback became the highest selling tpb in history. I had started reading comics a bit the summer before, and it just couldn’t register with my ten year old brain that Superman had been killed.īy the time I got around to accepting what had happened, Superman #75, where it all went down, was either sold out everywhere or nowhere near affordable to me. One November day in 5th grade I remember every kid at recess talking about it. ![]()
