Two incredible Superman foil covers — one of the most famous images in Superman history paired with a stunning modern Lee Bermejo interpretation of the Man of Steel.
The centerpiece for longtime collectors is Superman #75 — The Death of Superman, presented here as the gorgeous foil facsimile edition.
For anyone who collected comics in the early ’90s, this cover needs almost no introduction. Superman’s torn cape hanging from a makeshift flagpole became the defining image of The Death of Superman, one of the biggest comic-book events of the era. This facsimile reproduces the legendary issue—including the original story and advertisements—with Dan Jurgens’ classic cover given the foil treatment.
Then you get a completely different vision of Superman with Lee Bermejo’s foil variant for Superman #4.
And this thing is made for display.
Bermejo gives us Clark Kent in a shadowy Metropolis alley, pulling open his shirt to reveal the Superman shield underneath. It has that gritty, almost photorealistic quality Bermejo does so well—the ordinary reporter disappearing and Superman emerging underneath.
Put the two books next to each other and they tell you almost everything you need to know about the character.
On one cover, the cape of a fallen Superman.
On the other, Clark Kent revealing that Superman is still underneath.
Two very different eras. Two striking pieces of Superman artwork. Both in foil and both NM.
If you’re a Superman collector looking for books that actually deserve to be displayed rather than disappearing into a long box, this pair was made for it.
You will receive the exact two NM foil comics pictured.
