This is a Superman On Sale Here poster that was sent to comicbook shops in 1989 to promote the upcoming Superman titles. The poster shows off the enormous artistic talent of the great Jerry Ordway. For those of you who know your Superman history, this poster design is an homage to the cover of Superman number 1 drawn by the legendary Joe Shuster for its landmark 1939 debut which was celebrating its fiftieth anniversary at the time.
The very deep 1993 story within the pages of Adventures of Superman number 500 is titled “Life After Death!” and tells the tale of Johnathan Kent as he suffers a heart attack. After reliving moments of his life, he meets with Clark’s spirit and tries to convince him that it isn’t his time.
These are four Superman buttons originally produced by Ata-Boy in 2008. The buttons, each measuring at 1.25-inches in diameter, feature an array of designs including artwork from José Luis García-López and Jerry Ordway. The buttons can still be found for sale at select Six Flags theme parks.
