Superman The Man Of Steel Comic #1 | 1986 | John Byrne | Special Edition
Special Collector's edition (direct ed.). Published just a few months after Crisis on Infinite Earths, John Byrne's The Man of Steel updated the saga of Superman for modern audiences. His origin was altered, as were many other aspects of the character. This first issue reveals that Kal-El was conceived via the mingling of seeds in a matrix chamber, Clark's powers developed slowly over time (meaning Superboy was written out of continuity), and Superman's body projected an aura that protected his now vulnerable costume. Written and drawn by John Byrne, with inks by Dick Giordano.
Hi True Believers. This comic is bagged. I brought this comic when it was first released, from either the Newspaper stand in Hammersmith Tube Station (early 80's, before I discovered comic shops), Forbidden Planet, Paradise Alley(in Denmark Street) Gosh Comics (in Great Russell St), Top 10 (Soho), Comic Showcase (Neal Street & Charing Cross Road), Virgin (Oxford St) Twilight Zone (Hounslow), Rodney's Books & Games (Barking), The Comic Shack, (Leytonstone), Popular Book Centre (Hammersmith) and Westminster Comic Marts, read once and stored away, not as a professional collector but as someone who read once and did not throw them away or lend them out.
Please check the images carefully for the condition of the items as I am not a grader. Please note the foxing of the paper (newsprint paper) and the condition of the cover and spine. Good condition in a plastic bag for over 25 years. Stored in a cool, dry, smoke and pet-free environment.
All photographs are of the comic itself,(taken on the day of the listing) I do not use stock shots or scans. All comics are from my own collection which I am disposing of and transitioning to collected editions in the form of omnibus and absolutes
