Product Description:
"Superman-dead!"--The Daily Planet. On November 18, 1992, news of Superman's death shocked the world as the legendary Man of steel was killed defending Metropolis from the monster called Doomsday. Here at last is the dramatic story behind the best-selling comic book of all time: the fates of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Ma and Pa Kent, the Justice League, and the reign of the four super-beings who mysteriously appeared after Superman's funeral, each claiming to be the real Last Son of Krypton. And finally, here is the complete incredible story of Superman's triumphant retum! In this thrilling novel, Roger Stern, a veteran writer of Action Comics, chronicles the most amazing comeback in comic book history--told with more gripping detail and background than ever before.

Back in the early 1990s DC Comics killed off Superman--for a year. It made headlines around the world and the comic book sales went through the roof. Of course he DID come back after two other Supermen (and Superboy) appeared. This is basically a novelization of the comics (I think--I haven't read the comics in years). It's well written but slow going at first. Tons of characters are introduced to the reader with very little introduction--it gets confusing. However you slowly figure out who ... Read More

Veteran Superman scribe Roger Stern distills about a year's worth of comics into a 400-page novel. Shorn of the art that too often overpowers the storyline, Stern delivers an impressive product.
Metropolis is the fictional Midwestern equivalent of New York City and the destruction caused by Doomsday's attack and Superman's defense of the city eerily foreshadowed and recall 9/11.
For those who read the comics and real-life newspapers in 1992-93 the novel will seem a little slow at first. ... Read More

The first comic I ever read was the beginning of the Death of Superman story line. I was young, and at the time all I really knew about Superman was from the classic Donner movies. I guess I was a little lost at some of the concepts (Lex Luthor has red hair? Supergirl can shape shift??) but I stuck it out, and it's still one of my favorite comic story lines. Then came this book, and although it adapts the Death and Return story line brilliantly, it does something even greater. It intersperses adaptations ... Read More

Stern produced quite a good novel out of all the hoo-hah surrounding this DC comics publicity stunt.
He takes the whole saga from the comics, and retells the story of Doomsday arriving and plowing through first the Justice League, then Superman.
Then you see how the world reacts to the death of their premier hero, and what happens when multiple other 'supermen' try and replace him.
