At the Jim Lee And Friends panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Dan Jurgens got up on stage to announce another Death Of Superman revisitation project to follow up this year’s with the 30th anniversary of The Return of Superman and an Anniversary Special with himself Dan Jurgens, and fellow Death and Return creators Louise Simonson, Jerry Ordway and Karl Kesel writing the special, with Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding drawing it, with additional covers from  Brad Walker and Jon Bogdanove.

The Return of Superman Anniversary Special focus on the four Reign Of Supermen replacements that took over the Superman role, Steel, Superboy, the Eradicator, and Cyborg Superman. And will look at their current roles in the DC Universe. Luckily Steel and Superboy have their own titles and Eradicatir Superman and Cyborg Superman have both recently returned to the fore in the Action Comics and Steelworks titles.

When news broke that DC planned to kill Superman, a beloved cultural icon, The Death of Superman received unprecedented coverage from the mainstream media. Superman #75, which features Superman’s death, sold over six million copies and became the top-selling comic of 1992. It took a lot t put that frog back into its box.

And then? Then there was a fire alarm and everyone had to evacuate. Looks like they will make it to the Eisners on time now after all. Attendees did get “Garro” pins, so look for these on eBay soon!
