This retelling of the Death and Return of Superman is nearly 200 pages long, it was published for the young-adult crowd and it was written by Louise Simonson (one of the architects of said storyline). Now the year is 1993 and Alex was hard at work on his breakthrough masterpiece, Marvels. He had just come out of doing the Terminator work and was looking to get into "The Big Two" (DC & Marvel Comics) and this was his first crack at a DC character. He did a great job! as you can see, at this point Alex still didn't have his trademark Superman rendition all figured out, so he came up with this one which resembles the original Superman from the Siegel & Shuster days. It looks pretty awesome, plus, this is the only time Alex has painted Doomsday (although it's only a fist, but anyway).COLLECTOR'S ALERT: This is a very hard to find item, I've added it to MY COLLECTION recently after looking for years, and I found it in MINT condition, shrink-wrapped and all!
