The Death of Superman!

Wow, damn, has it really been 30 years since the Death of Superman happened? Sheesh! I was living in Hugo at the time. California was over a year away. When I think about the event, I recall how big the waves it was making. There were news broadcasts, talk shows, hell, I even think it was on David Letterman. I was 15, and that year I spent a lot of time with my friends, one of whom, Todd, may he RIP, has passed, reading comics, watching X-Men and Batman, and playing TSR’s Marvel RPG. It was a great time to be a comic fan and a teenager. It was the 90s! The internet was in its infancy, I think. The WWW may have happened in the same year. As I said, things are fuzzy. But here we are, 30 years down the road. Heroes die all the time these days and come back as often! But the death of Supes? That was and always will be iconic! When I saw that a hardcover edition was being released for the anniversary, I had to have it!
