yes, I believe that's it.  I have a sealed pack like is shown here, and there is one for sale on ebay.  If no one else can confirm for sure that the Superman Adventures with Superman symbol came from this pack, I can open it in the interest of variant science.

 

 

noooo dont open its confirmed. seen this youtube video he opens it at 11:15

Googled M Champion and found Micah Champion (https://www.micahchampion.com) that's my best guess.

this is a mike champion 2010 missing the m but has that squilly stuff at the bottom not sure if the same person but thanks for the lead

yours came direct or logo? asking to know if theres only that logo in those packs. do we refer the book

Should have known.. I have a few of this pack and I have opened 1 before.  Guess I just disregarded it as it looked like those direct editions.

as second print then?

Some of the packs did have a mix. Where they have been known to have DC Universe Logo  , Bat Symbol, direct edition books. There have been 2 packs that have a mix as well. Which is why I suspect this came from a pack. So far I have seen some of the superman symbols on books that came from these packs, however those were just direct editions like the aforementioned Superman Wedding Album. 

found it came in a pack,, opens pack at 11:25

try to follow the line in the signature and see where it leads in your head...it doesn't appear to be a full sig, it is a rushed sig so that makes it harder to follow the letters being formed as he writes

MC something is possible, but it could also be M Christopher or something similar all squished together

Campiri or something looks possible too. It is too wonky to be A list (not to be rude), look at the era in that town and see if any artist alley names jump out at you from the shows.

so i tried to narrow it down and looked up all names starting with "MC" on my slabbed comics and compared to each one so that rules that out. i think like you said its first name"M" last name something. And i agree not a A list artist but i do want to know who did just so i dont have a random art lol. Aslo checked local cons in dallas and houston on wikipedia to see the guest and no big leads there. the person did have promos from other states so thats my next step

Originally that was my thought, however this one is just a little different, in that is wasn't pre DCU. By late 1996 the DCU were tapering off and there really were not many printed after.( that have been found)  which is one of the things that makes this one a little interesting.  

Although I do agree the most plausible explanation for how this came to be distributed was more than likely the same process of multi packs.  

it is odd, if the last known multi pack was in 12/96 then this would fit in that time line supporting the multipack origin a bit but then if this was a multi pack it would eve had the dc universe logo right? is there any other superman logo books in multi packs? where all the variants in 96' dc universe or was it mixed in with other symbols like the early bat logo. 

by any chance has any one seen this one in a pack if so please share which one thank you. super man logo

A several of the multi pack books are ghosts . Some with only a few copies so far known to exist.  There isn't any full resource that shows all of the packs and even less that show the contents. Most of the DC Universe Logo packs have been discussed in the thread for those, but when it comes to some of the packs that preceded and later packs information is even harder to come by. 

will be checking the dc universe logo thread see if it helps. but thank you a lot for your expertise. ima lean towards this was in a pack. now which pack is the question. wish there was a record for these type of things some where.

I am not 100% but I do believe this came in a toys r us pack. Just before the DC Universe Logo books they had direct editions that used different logos ( Bullet Logo, Zero Hour Logo, WB Reading Logo , Bat Symbol. ) at the tail end of the multi packs 

I believe they more than likely had this as one of those pack fillers. Originally they started with the 2 packs , 20 packs, and character packs. Later were 16 packs and 10 packs as well as some 2 packs. IMO this would have probably been found in either the 2 packs or maybe one of the 10 packs.

@Cpt Kirk

 

ill have to look into the contents in all the packs that was released but thats a great lead. dont know where to find that info but it gives me a great start. think this is very plausible. makes the most sense. things  a ghost online.

I'm still not convinced. 

I thought the last letter might be an upside down "d"

I'm not sure if it is like a "tag graffiti " sig

I was already outside the box so idk

not convinced either he has that long squigle at the end of all his autos. at this point i dont know what to do. the collection had some nice autos stan lee, scott campbell stood out to me, and some fire books, clone wars 1, heir to empire 1, kotor. at this point think ima just have an unkown thick butt frank artwork in my pc

Frank has a little too much junk in his trunk here. Frankie got back!

he is thick though here  

looked into wyman found a 09, of his and dont match, but man his art is dope

I'm still not sure, the fact that its raw could mean a different kind of "signature?" I know some artists could have done that, but I doubt it

i see what you mean, maybe i can reach out to mike M see if he will reply. my closest guess is michael golden he worked on nam and his M has that little sharp start on the left. what do you think??

Could the answer be staring at us...mike deodato himself ?

wish it was so easy. he has a very distinguished D

Pretty sure this is the 1) that you mention if this helps.

the upc on the one you attached is direct. the one i have has a superman logo which i cant find any where

The only thing I could think w as maybe a DVD comic combo, but I'll admit I was flaberghasted too.

I figure someone may be more familiar,  guess I can wait too.

Last year, I might not have thought twice on the logos haha

think dvds released 1996 and this book dropped 96, could be thats  good lead. yeah those small variants be making a different just started checking my books after i found my carmen sandiego has the dc universe logo. but im stumped on this superman one. cannot find a shingle one like it

no, that gcg one has the direct upc this one has a super man logo i looked at every book and none have the superman logo in the upc area

looks similar but i just looked at all the mignola autos and none have that scribble on the bottom and none of his "M" are sharp they are all very round. and other lead?

Cannot find any info on this book. heres my research so far, however inside the book it says same date nov 1996

CGC Census - has three variants 1) regular not sure if thats only direct , 2) preview copy 3) trade

comicrealm, mycomicshop, key collector does not help they only show direct edition.

Does anyone know why does one has a logo in upd area? if so where did it come from. 

this came in a collection with some amazing books and a handful of autographs. the collector was from texas if that helps at all. had promos from dallas expo and charlotte convention but that lead dident help
