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.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. By Ed Gross. Comic book super heroes first came into their own at the beginning of World War II, when America felt overwhelmed both at home and overseas. It somehow seemed that more than a mere man was needed to fight for truth, justice, and the American way. Superman was the first and greatest of those heroes. Fittingly, he was also one of the first, and most successful heroes to hit the silver screen and television. Two decades later a revival took place in the ranks of the super hero. Again America seemed to be floundering, our international enemies racing ahead of us in the sciences and turmoil filling our hearts at home. This time a small publisher of horror comics tried their hand at creating a guardian who believed that with great power came great responsibility. He was a hero with human foibles, not really more than human, just gifted with great power. Spider-Man had arrived and he would help to make Marvel Comics the largest publisher of its kind in the country. SUPERMAN and SPIDER-MAN, flagships for the two largest publishers of four color fantasies in America. Both of them have had interesting careers in celluloid as well as on newsprint. In this book, Edward Gross, a contributing columnist to the nation's largest magazine about comics, COMICS FEATURE, as well as to a variety of publications about film, begins to tell the story. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 58 pages, B&W. Cover price $5.95.
