A few years ago my uncle gave me a box of comic books. I've never really been interested in any of them, except for this one which is framed and has the caption 'the death of Superman' Anyone know anything about this? Is this like some uber-rare comic? If so then I might sell it...

Right, never mind. I found it on Wikipedia.

Have you even read it??? Well, i dont believe its all that rare, seeing as my friend owned it back in '94 just a few years old. But It was a pretty big deal at the time. Deaths and resurrections were nothing new in comics back then but Superman was about as high on the food chain as you can get. A villain named Doomsday and Superman kill each other in battle, which ushers in the next DC storyline "Reign of the Supermen!"

This book was highly publicized as a collectible in the media at the time, so naturally, everyone and their mother bought 50 copies. At the time, the polybagged books were selling for as high as $50 on the secondary market. Now, you might be able to get a buck or two for it.
