it's some where in the beginning of the comic normally or the first couple pages. Its on the bottom of the page it will say published by dc comics the year it came out the number and it will say 2nd printing 3rd printing if it is not the original printing thanks. :)
all of the pages are just the comic, the inside cover states: "Published by DC comics Cover and compilation copyright (c) 1993" a bit further down it says 'originally published in single magazine form as superman: the man of steel 17, 18, 19, superman 73, 74, 75, Adventures of superman 496, 497, action comics 683, 684 and Justic League America 69 Copyright (C) 1992, 1993 dc cOMICS. All rights reserved' blah blah, then down a bit further it says DC Comics and the address Printed in Canada. First Printing. hope that's what you were looking for.
sorry for so many questions just wondering if its hard cover or soft cover cause take no offense the first and second printing had the upc code on the cover the 3rd though 9th printing had superman symbol upc on the cover so if yours says first printing you have a comic that is not known to be in print.
oh no offense taken, and feel free to ask away. I'm certainly no afficianado, but I did find this for reference http://www.amazon.com/Death-Superman-1st-Printing/dp/B002RTKZ34 and this http://www.amazon.com/Death-Superman-Second-Printing/dp/B003JTM5CK The first printing has the S symbol in place of the barcode, the 2nd printing has the barcode, at least according to the amazon listing.
Well I tried to look up those links on amazon and they did not work! lol I am not saying you are wrong in anyway....but I do not know of one existing and I want one if they do exist lol. I use the website comicbookrealm.com for all of my lookups and your isn't on there. I have always found them to be very accurate in the past. Scope it out whenever you have time!
dude just found it on ebay! You're right I am wrong lol... Every first printing I have seen in WI there has been no copy like yours! And I have been collecting for over 15 years! Sorry I was not trying to be a pain...just really wanted to know about it :) I will def be attempting to taking this off yours hands for you! lol thanks man
