DC Elseworlds 80-Page Giant #1 (1999) Recalled ORIGINAL True 1st Print Microwave

$320 · Offered by eBay

Elseworlds 80-Page Giant #1 (August 1999) – DC Comics Original Recalled Edition An incredible opportunity to own one of the absolute "holy grails" of modern comic book history! This is the genuine, ultra-rare 1999 original first printing that was famously recalled and ordered to be pulped by DC Comics corporate management prior to its official release. This issue escaped destruction due to a shipping error that allowed a small batch of copies to be delivered early to comic shops in the United Kingdom. The Microwave Controversy: The book was banned due to the humorous short story "Letitia Lerner, Superman's Babysitter" by writer/artist Kyle Baker and Liz Glass, which depicts an infant Clark Kent crawling into a kitchen microwave. The story later went on to win a prestigious Eisner Award. This is a phenomenal investment-grade piece for serious comic historians, error collectors, or high-end Superman enthusiasts. Shipping & Handling: Will be packed under extreme care, sandwiched securely between multiple layers of thick, heavy-duty carboard inside a rigid box to eliminate any risk of transit damage. Shipped strictly via Royal Mail Special Delivery (fully tracked, signed for, and insured).
