Superman #97 Vol. 2, Page 1

Yeah, I know the pose is problematic. And yes, once it is framed, it might be hung right outside my bathroom.

If anyone saw my collector's conversation with Bill in 2021, I shared the cover of Back Issue by Dan Jurgens I had. It had Superman on it, with a lot of other characters. I got it by trading Mike Burkey three covers for that one.

I think I sent it to auction when I started trying to raise money to buy a Jim Lee piece. The main reason I was willing to let go of that piece, was that Brett Breeding didn't ink it. That '92-94 era when I bought Superman comics off the shelf, it was always "art by Jurgens and Breeding."

I knew next time I bought a Jurgens page, I wanted it to be a Jurgens/Breeding page. I had no plans to be a buyer for CA Live. I've sold a couple pieces years ago with the online show, but I never purchased anything.

When this showed up, I had to pull the trigger. The covers that have come to auction have been way out of my price range. I really wanted a full-splash by these guys and nothing I'd seen in my price range was a full splash.

Big thanks to Malvin for letting this one go. It found a good home.
