Beguiling and Peter Birkemoe

DC: The Man of Steel is set to be killed off in an upcoming issue, only to be reborn as part of DC new Rebirth series, which, as Beguiling owner Peter Birkemoe puts it, hits the reset button on core DC characters like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, according to Metro News. It so convenient that with the imminent death of Superman and DC re-launching its whole universe that we can give local comic fans the chance to see a piece of history, he said. The iconic comic store timing couldn't be better. Superman #1 was first published in 1939, and according to Birkemoe, only about 200 copies are still in existence. However, the comic at The Beguiling has been restored, and is expected to sell for a comparatively paltry $45,000. Mint condition copies of Superman #1 can fetch as much as $500,000, Birkemoe said.
