Label #1963808024

New York Comic Con exclusive cover by Rafael Loureiro. Written by Don Handfield and James Haick III. Art by Rafael Loureiro. Fresh from the pages of Scout Presents: The Mall Free Comic Book Day, the MALL is set in everyone's favorite decade, the 1980's.

When the head of the Cardini Mob Family mysteriously dies, his three illegitimate children each inherit a store in the mall. While the stores front as legal businesses, the real money is in the illegal businesses. The kids are thrust into a world of crime, all the while just trying to survive normal high school life. It's a John Hughes movie set in the Godfather universe. Co-written by History Channel's Knightfall writer Don Handfield and Solar Flare's James Haick III. 28 pages, full color.

Man of Steel (1986) 1A FN+ 6.5 Direct

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

Special Collector's 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.
