Story Notes:

This comic set features the first appearances of Doomsday and the Death of Superman.

The Death of Superman storyline, saw Superman, the iconic DC super hero fall in battle to the villain Doomsday. This comic event mirrored the real time death of Superman co-creator artist, Joe Shuster (July 10, 1914 – July 30, 1992). The story was adapted as a cartoon film by DC as well as referenced in the movie Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

This comic was released as part of a major revitalization campaign by DC comics in the 90’s which saw all of their major superheroes replaced over the course of two years. Among these storylines included the Death of Superman, Emerald Twilight (Hal Jordan becomes a Parrallax), Wonder Woman replaced by Artemis, the Death of Green Arrow, and Aquaman loosing his hand.
