    Man of Steel (1986) 1B.D FN/VF 7.0 Newsstand Variant

    Signed by John Byrne and Dick Giordano (first page). No certification is included.

    Starts Dec 15

    Standard Direct Edition. Published just a few months after Crisis on Infinite Earths, John Byrne's The Man of Steel updated the saga of Superman for modern audiences. His origin was altered, as were many other aspects of the character. This first issue reveals that Kal-El was conceived via the mingling of seeds in a matrix chamber, Clark's powers developed slowly over time (meaning Superboy was written out of continuity), and Superman's body projected an aura that protected his now vulnerable costume. Written and drawn by John Byrne, with inks by Dick Giordano. Cover price $0.75. Grade: FN/VF 7.0 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
