Superman #257 (1st Series) (1972) – signed by Nick Cardy

By now, you’ve all seen the very first Superman comicbook I ever owned. The cover art was simply amazing to me. As time passed I learned who the amazing artist was… Nick Cardy. Known for his fantastic work on titles like Action Comics, Bat Lash, Teen Titans, Aquaman, The Flash, World’s Finest, and many movie posters, Cardy brought his impeccable use of perspective to the cover I still love so much.

Superman #64 (French series) (1973)

As part of the 50th anniversary of my Superman fandom this month (October 2022) I am featuring something that has become a quest of mine for some time now. As you’ve read, Superman #257 published in 1972 was the first Superman comic I ever owned. Within recent years, my quest has been to acquire the various prints of this story from around the world as well as other related goodness.
