Man of Steel #1 (1986) by John Byrne & Dick Giordano The story in the story : thes "Space Plane" was originally intended to be a space shuttle. It was changed at the last minute due to the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster that occured January 28, 1986, a few months before this issue hit newsstands. Byrne originally drew a very faithful depcition of a shuttle in the center panel of this page, but for publication, this was covered with a production stat featuring a more abstract, futuristic plane. This stat is included with the lot and loose from the page so Byrne's original intentions can be seen. The rest of the page is hand-drawn art.
