Writer and artist Dan Jurgens has made the following statement regarding the legacy of The Death of Superman and the upcoming release of The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1:

“Even now, thirty years after The Death of Superman was published, at every convention or store I appear at there is at least one person who approaches me with Superman #75 or the first collected edition of The Death of Superman. from Superman and tells me, ‘This is the book that got me into comics. And I’m still here, reading, all these years later’. Most of the time, it is more than one. Sometimes multiple people come to my table at the same time and share their memories, which is always fun to experience.”

“Their stories are usually quite similar. Normally, media coverage of Superman’s death forced them or one of their parents to stop by a local store to pick up the copy. In some cases, their parents let them miss school on the day of the book’s publication so they could queue for a copy. Some say that their store was sold out and that they spent days searching the entire city to find one.”

“I’m not the only one who has that experience. It’s common to the entire team of writers and artists working on Superman at the time. It was a singularly unique moment in comics, in which a particular story was covered by all national and local media outlets alike.”

Dan Jurgens continues

“It’s hard to tell people what those days were like, but every comic book store in the country had long lines of people out the door waiting to buy THAT BOOK.”

All these years later, it is with great pleasure that we reunite with the original creative teams from the story to celebrate a truly exciting time in comics. For those who remember those days, the 30th anniversary special of The Death of Superman will bring back some memories. For those who were not at that time, we hope they get an idea of ​​what it was like”.
