Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. This is a trade paperback collected edition produced in massive quantities. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the book unless it is a rare variant or signed.
Notable Features
Iconic cover art featuring Lois Lane cradling a fallen Superman. This trade paperback was released shortly after the single issues to capitalize on the massive mainstream media attention the story received.
Authentication Notes
Authentic first printing identifiable by the $4.95 US / $6.50 CAN price point and the '82' date signature by Bogdanove and Janke on the bottom right of the cover art.
