Yes, that one came in one of the Superman Collector Sets circa 1995. The outer package was Superman Battles His Fiercest Foes (keep in mind there were several sets with this front title, all with different content) with Superman: Man of Tomorrow #1 showing in the cutout. The rest of the set is all DCU logos such as the Wedding Album, Steel #1, and 2 Superboy titles.  I can share a photo later when I am at my computer if you'd like. 

 

 

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.

waaaait a second, @L.E. Gill so that Superman Adventures #1 came with other DCU packs? 

does that mean it needs added to the supplemental DCU pack logo list?

Yes. All of it was discussed here..

It definitely is from that Superman pack and it has 3 variations.  Newsstand, Direct, Superman Logo.

Yes, probably so.  You could also possibly make a case for the Death of Superman TPB as a multipack logo variant along the lines of the DC Bullet Batman Adventures TPB-- there are three versions, the direct edition, the newsstand, and the one with the dripping superman insignia which came in the Limited Collector's Set from 1992.  I don't have any copies to check indicia but I've definitely seen all three.

Collector I know on Instagram just bought this. Is this the first time this issue has come up as a DCU logo variant?

Not the first time (it is on the list) , but it is the first time on ebay in a long time. If the seller actually let it stay as a bid instead of switching to buy it now , it might have sold for more considering it looked in really good shape. I know I was watching and planned on bidding.

Wow! I missed that on the list. Thanks for the info.

I take it back.. ok. It is on my list, but after looking back it is actually not on the list here. ..

So this will need to be added here.

My notes say there are stickered versions of DCUs for Green Lantern #59, Flash #94 and Detective Comics #680. I feel like someone posted pics of some of these before in the boards but a lot of the earlier pages have broken images now. I am wondering if I have confused the Detective #680 for Detective #690?  Can anyone confirm or deny the existence of these stickered versions?

Also, is there a non-stickered version of Superman #104? 

Appreciate any insight boardies can offer.

Superman 104 has both.

On the Detective I am pretty sure it is #690. I do not remember seeing a #680 sticker.

Not sure on the GL or Flash, but am sure @Cpt Kirk knows.

Also I do not see you mention the Superman Man of Steel #42 which came in both.

Thanks! I have both versions of MoS #42, one was a lucky find.  I also have a stickered Green Lantern #55 and have seen it on the boards before but that one seems a bit iffy since the sticker doesn't seem consistent with other stickered DCUs. Would love to see that one found still in a sealed package.    I did recently discover there are 2 different versions of the Green Lantern Collector's Set with GL #59 so maybe the later run had stickered versions if they ran out? One has a price printed on the upper right back and a sticker advertising a trading card on front-- and one has GL#61 while the other has GL #65.20220515_134411.thumb.jpg.5917fe7b855f69306344f8624e4801e2.jpg

I am thinking maybe Detective #680 was a typo. Thanks for the info on Superman #104, I've only found stickered versions.

Responding to you and @onlyweaknesskryptonite here.   I believe the Detective 680 stickered version is a typo... Detective 690 has the stickered and non-stickered DCU variants.  I can't recall on the Green Lanterns.  I realize it would be like looking for a need in a haystack, but I think all of those stickered versions are discussed earlier in this thread.  My post to this thread on March 21, 2016 started discussing the stickered variants.

Been meaning to share this misprinted DCU, with a partially visible direct sales UPC under the DCU logo and then the entire cover was overprinted (?) with the back cover upside down on the front and vice versa.

It's a little hard to see some of the details, but for example you can see a bit of Batman's leg and cape etching and a DCU logo on the back cover. Some of the photos show a comparison to a normal version. I put the rest under the cut since it's a bit image heavy.

If you would, please post in this thread as well :)

 

They also may give feedback that would be more than here, or at least different  ^^
