I was a huge toy geek in the 90s and loved the new Superman toys that came out in the 90s after the Death Of Superman. I'm currently going through all my toys that have been in my parents attic for well over a decade and came across this awesome Byrne gem packaged with the Superman/Batman toy combo. I got a big kick out of seeing alternate costumes as drawn by JB.

I always kept the packaging intact even though I opened the toys.I'll try to put a pic of the actual toys with the cover too.

Thought some of ya'll might appreciate a look-see!

Cool looking artwork. Although I have to say, seeing Superman with
long hair is a painful experience. Every time I go to a con and Dan
Jurgens is in attendance I still shame him for it.

Never seen this before! Is this just a cover or a complete comics with JB art?

Just a cover. Done as a favor to Paul Kupperberg when he was the licensing guy at DC.

I was lucky enough to purchase a copy of that very book from the Forum's own Dave Pruitt.
Thanks again Dave!
