1st printing. Written by Kim "Howard" Johnson and John Cleese. Art and cover by John Byrne and Mark Farmer. Get ready for SUPERMAN: TRUE BRIT, an original hardcover graphic novel with a new take on the Superman legend, courtesy of writer Kim "Howard" Johnson (Monty Python: The First 280 Years) and with some help from, in his comics debut, Monty Python's John Cleese (Fawlty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda).

In this humorous, veddy British tale, the Last Son of Krypton's rocket ship crash-lands in an English town even smaller than Smallville, where the infant Kal-El is taken in by adoptive parents - the Clarks - who raise their son Colin to hide his powers, because the worst thing anyone can do is stand out from the crowd. But when Colin grows up to become a mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Smear, a powerful tabloid newspaper dedicated to uncovering the biggest story of the century, he finds that the key to his success may be in going public. What will the neighbours think? Softcover, 96 pages, full color. Cover price $17.95.

1st printing. By Jake Rossen. Tinseltown's fascination with the comic icon is detailed in this book, encompassing all the behind-the-scenes machinations that helped shape Superman into a screen legend - and all the derailed projects that have vilified everyone involved. Based on extensive interviews with producers, screenwriters, cast members, and crew, this exposé spills the beans on all the various TV shows, from the classic The Adventures of Superman to the current hit Smallville; the various animated efforts on both the large and small screens; and the movies - from 1979's smash hit Superman: The Movie to 2006's Superman Returns. Softcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 340 pages, Text (with some B&W photos). Cover price $16.95.

Superhero Enterprises Mail Order Signed Edition, signed by Stan Lee and numbered to 2000. Ross Andru/Dick Giordano art. 1st Marvel/DC crossover. Superman and Spider-Man battle Lex Luthor and Dr. Octopus. Treasury size, 100 pages. Limited Signed Edition of 2,000

Superhero Enterprises sold an unknown number of copies of the limited edition WITHOUT Carmine Infantino's signature, accompanied by letters informing recipients that Infantino was no longer employed with DC Comics effective the end of January 1976 (but rather than disappoint customers, Stan Lee agreed to continue signing and numbering 'only' 2,000 copies).

While there are known signed copies in circulation that are not numbered, the ONLY ones we can confirm to be the actual mail-order limited editions are the copies that are numbered to 2,000 on the cover. Overstreet lists this a second printing limited edition of 5,000. However, an ad found inside select issues of Marvel Comics from that time period clearly contradicts Overstreet's claim. The ad, by Superhero Enterprises, identifies this as a special collector's offer limited edition of 2,000 copies signed by both Stan Lee and Carmine Infantino.

There is no evidence anywhere inside the book or advertisements that this edition is actually a second printing. With the ad casting strong suspicion on Overstreet's accuracy regarding this book, we assume this is a first printing.
