The Birth of The Eradicator! Historic First Appearance from Superman: The Man of Steel #1

This rare, historic original page from Superman: The Man of Steel #1 (1991) is a true gem for Superman collectors, featuring not only the Man of Steel himself but also the very first appearance of The Eradicator! In comic art collecting terms, this is the coveted “birth page”, the first time the character is seen within the actual story, making it a significant milestone in Superman lore.

While The Eradicator gained widespread popularity during the 1993 Reign of the Supermen storyline (notably in and after Adventures of Superman #500), this page predates that appearance by 2 years, marking his true first appearance. Here, he is depicted in his original Kryptonian costume, a stunning design that may not be as well-known as his later Superman-inspired look but still holds a strong fan following.

Adding to its desirability, original pages from this first issue rarely surface on the secondary market, making this a scarce opportunity to own a pivotal moment from the debut issue of a highly collectible series. First appearances, especially of major Superman-related characters, are always in high demand, and this page represents a key piece of Superman history. Whether you’re a Superman completist, an Eradicator fan, or just a savvy collector looking for a highly significant original, this is a must-have addition to any serious collection!
