Action Comics #686

Collection: Superman: Funeral for a Friend (World Without a Superman)

+ View the full size image

Funeral for a Friend Part 6: “Who's Buried in Superman's Tomb?"

Cover Date: February, 1993

Roger Stern story, Jackson Guice cover

Jackson Guice & Denis Rodier art

Guardian (Jim Harper) & Supergirl (Matrix) appearance.

Grade Date: 07/25/2008

Won on eBay: 8/14/2008 - $17.51

This dark, mysterious and eerie cover is my favorite from "Funeral for a Friend.” Action Comics #686 is an issue I see in almost every comic book shop, con and used book store I've ever been to - or will ever go to. The conditions are always so-so on the copies I've seen in the wild, holding this certified example of such a common book in high grade still gets me every time. This piece in particular piece is very fresh, I won it on eBay for a great price not long after it was certified. Something special does not have to be rare or expensive!

Speaking of special, rare and possibly expensive, I still have my childhood copy, which is the second printing, that originally came from a two pack I got from Toys "R" Us in the mid '90s. I had no idea in 1994/95 that the second printing would be one of the most difficult later printings to find. Later on as I acquired the first printings of these storyline issues I would then discard my second, third and fourth printings. Thankfully, my childhood copy survived.

Story continued in Superman: The Man of Steel #21 (3/93).
