Today I decided to share the memories I have about where I was when Superman died. When I first heard the news that DC had decided to kill Superman I remember thinkingā¦he canāt die. But then everyone around the world started chiming inā¦he was going to dieā¦for real. There was an immediate pain in the pit of my stomach. He canāt dieā¦He was the best of the heroes! Then the storyline began to hit the shelves and I was literally watching Superman being beaten to a pulp. Cuts and bruises and blood and the pain that I had knowing that this was going to be his swan song. On the day he died I was working the 3rd shift and the comic store didnāt open until 10:00amā¦I got off at 7:00am so I drove over to the parking lot of the comic store and waitedā¦and waited. What I remember most about the day was it was drizzling out and that as I walked to door of the shop people followed me. I am the mistake of holding the door for people and they rushed in and didnāt return the door holding favor. Thankfully by the time I got to the black bag version there were a few left. I bought mine and read itā¦and they did it. They killed my favorite hero. and then came his funeralā¦flash forward to yesterday and my Dad 's memorial serviceā¦He diedā¦the only thing remaining was the pain in my stomach from knowing a few days ago that he was going to die soon since I knew his time was short I could prepare for itā¦kinda. Like the day Superman diedā¦I knew where I was that day and I knew where I was when my Dad diedā¦I was sitting with him. Yesterday people shared stories about how Dad was important to them and how he made a difference in their lives. They knew him as a good man. I knew him as my dad and my favorite hero of allā¦fly high "Pop"cycle! I love you, say hi to mom.

Holy Moly! This is the comic that I remember reading that hooked me on reading comic books! This book was my favorite of all the comics that was in my 1st box of comics ever. In 1976 it was a great time to read comics. Sometimes you could find rare Golden Age comics and silver age too!
