"Most of all, we hope all of you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it all together." For those who weren't around to experience it, well…we hope you get a hint of what it was like.
For those of you who remember those days, The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special will reignite some memories. "All these years later, it's a great pleasure to get back together with the story's original creative teams to celebrate a truly exciting time in comics. "It's hard to tell people what those days were like, but every comic shop in the country had long lines of people outside the door waiting to buy THAT BOOK. It was a singularly unique moment in comics, when a particular story was covered by every form of national and local media alike. "It's common for the entire team of writers and artists who worked on Superman at the time. "I'm not alone in that experience," Jurgens continues. Some talk of how their store was sold out and they spent days looking all over town to find one. In some cases, their parents let them skip school the day of the book's release so they could stand in line to get a copy. Typically, media coverage of Superman's death compelled them or a parent to drop by a local store to pick up. Sometimes, multiple people arrive at my table at the same time and share their memories, which is always fun to experience. And I’m still here, reading, all these years later,'" Jurgens says in DC's announcement. "Even now, 30 years after the 'Death of Superman' first came out, every single convention or store appearance I do has at least one person who comes up to me with Superman #75 or the first 'Death of Superman' collected edition and says, 'This is the book that got me into comics.
