I tore the pages out, sold all my Superman comics during a yard sale, and all future The Death of So-And-So stories were ruined for me forever, whether legit story or marketing ploy. It may have been the first time I felt victim to some cheap marketing gimmick. Classy, right? This time I bought two copies price be damned! I immediately tore one open as soon as I closed the door to my bedroom to find inside was a holographic cover of Superman flying toward an outreached hand ( layers of special packaging!) The tale of Pa Kent ushering Supes home from some Kryptonian netherworld was ludicrous even for my 15-year old self. The Adventures of Superman #175 came out a mere year later, polybagged in white with the classic shield proudly displayed. I followed all of the “Funeral For A Friend” and “Reign of Supermen” events that followed until, What? Superman was returning?! They were everywhere in the nineties! Anyway, I’m sure I loved the issue at the time, but looking back now, the frat boy punch-fest that Landis describes is pretty accurate. I get the impression there were comic-book-store-comics and everywhere-else-comics back then. Then I became aware of the newsstand edition - a cheaper (in quality and price) copy I could purchase to read.
