You mentioned you bound a title called “Superman From the Ages”. What is in that?

Thanks for the great info. I just finished my combine.

I usually would go based on cover date and when arcs start.

JLA #1-4 goes somewhere before Final Night. #5 is the second appearance of blue Superman. Classic costume returns in #20.

I was just wondering where you would put the JLA issues in Superman continuity if you were to include them. I’m not suggesting that you do for binding purposes, but I keep mine in comic drawer boxes in continuity order (as much as possible) and I’m trying to figure out how to mix in the first 23 issues of JLA (my collection stops at the end of 98).

DC has announced a series of “Retro-Active” specials for summer 2011. There will be three for Superman, featuring stories set in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Obviously, the 70s one doesn’t have a place here, but the last two might.

In fact, Simonson/Bogdanove are doing the 90′s one, and say they’re placing it around MoS #31.

“For the continuity buffs out there, the ‘90s was the era of five interlocked Superman titles – our story in ‘Superman: Retro-Active’ takes place between pages, about halfway through ‘Man of Steel’ #31,” the writer added.

Not sure where Wolfman’s 80s issue will go, but if has the editorial captions like he promises, then we should get some clues.

I agree with the year one book idea. I am making this my next project, and probably the most ambitious bind I will ever do.
Also check out Booster Gold Vol.1 6-7. It’s a pretty interesting Superman appearance, because it’s basically the first post crisis Superman story. Also Jurgens first work on Superman.
I am also going to work in some of the Legion in the 20th Century stuff from around the time of Final Night and Showcase stories for characters I really liked.

I think the only one I own that’s not part of the map is the Guardians of Metropolis mini. And I’m not sure that a lot of the minis were that significant, other than allowing some of the supporting cast to shine.

I am thinking of putting Man of Steel #1-5, the Year One annuals, and some other material that fits in that era (including maybe the 3 World mini-series that Byrne oversaw) into a “Superman: Year One” book.

But all of this is still back burner.

Have you thought to include any of the spin off minis from this era?

Whoa! What a massive undertaking. This is making me re-think about binding Superman, especially since I don’t have very much of this stuff. I think I’ll let it sit on the back burner for awhile.
