We started having some discussions and realized there's something we can do here that I think is fun for people, whether they were there and remember it and want to scratch that itch of nostalgia, or whether they weren't there at all and want to find out more about what it was about.I realized it was the 30th anniversary, and I started mentioning it to a couple of folks at DC and said, "There's an opportunity here, especially since we're all still around and able to work on it in terms of the original creators who were there at the time." It's hard to tell people what those days were like, but every comic shop in the country had long lines of people outside the door waiting to buy THAT BOOK. The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1 includes 9 pinups from some of the top names in comics today, including Jamal Campbell, Lee Weeks, Clay Mann, Fabio Moon, Walter Simonson, Bill Sienkiewicz, Gabriel Rodriguez and more. Only three of the stories in The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1 focus on varying character perspectives during the original event. Jurgens and Breeding's story, 'The Life of Superman,' takes place in a version of the present day, which was very intentional – not just for introducing Doombreaker, but for bringing a variety of readers into the event and making it feel impactful.

To mark this monumental moment in comics, DC has reunited the complete creative team behind the original event for four brand-new stories. Screen Rant: Just as a creative, how has the meaning of this event changed for you over time? And what does it mean to you now? The story has the same name as one found in Action Comics #225, Superman #149, and an episode of Super Friends.

In the street where the creature is the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, led by Maggie Sawyer and Dan Turpin, open fire on the creature. Jamal Campbell, Lee Weeks, Clay Mann, Fabio Moon, Walter Simonson, Bill Sienkiewicz (seen above and below), Gabriel Rodriguez, and more will illustrate the pin-ups. Followed by a series of short stories revisiting some of Superman’s greatest allies and exclusive pinups done by some of comics’ greatest artistic talent including LEE WEEKS, GABRIEL RODRIGUEZ, BILL SIENKIEWICZ, and WALTER SIMONSON.
