DC Comics' The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special goes to Final Order Cut-Off on Sunday for comic book stores, and so DC Comics is doing a last-minute push to get people to order a comic book celebrating an event many of them were too young to have read. Okay some of them, anyway. So they have released this video with new PR interviews with Dan Jurgens, Louise Simonson, Roger Stern, Jerry Ordway, and original editor Mike Carlin, talking about the origins and impact of the original crossover event as well as its revival thirty years on.

The early FOC date is to facilitate all the extra stuff that will come with it.

Calling back to 1992's Superman #75, The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1 will arrive with a polybag variant including the issue and a black armband, both featuring the Death of Superman 30th Anniversary logo.
