Back in the day (1997) Marvel and DC would occasionally play nice and make comics together. This is one such example the Batman and Spider-Man comic was made by DC whereas the Spider-Man and Batman comic was made by Marvel. One showcases Spider-Man, helping out in a Batman story with the other, having Batman help out in a Spider-Man story. Very happy with this pick up today at my local comic store.

Since today is Superman Day, Im sharing my Eradicator Superman art by master painter Joe Jusko. Jusko is best known for doing the Marvel Masterpiece trading cards from 1992. This art was commissioned by the Hasbro Toy Company for action figure packaging. While the Eradicator Superman figure was produced, it was sold through the mail in a white box with no art. As a Death and Return of Superman fan, I jumped at the chance to add this to my collection.

several years ago I found this ungraded at an antique mall in the Chicago suburbs in a cheap picture frame with some other cards from this set with a little $30 sticker on it. I sent them all off to SGC and got varying grades, this one being the lowest, which makes sense because this would be the card that some kid got one day and was most excited to show off and look at in a day when top loaders didn’t exist. One of those fun finds that I love because of the endless imagined history of the hands that have held it and the eyes that have marveled in its presence.

Superman 195 from 1967. I freaking love this cover. Those colors really pop. 🤘
