There were, however, equal numbers of people who bought the comic because they grew up with Superman. The argument could be made that these people simply know a good investment when they see one. But maybe, just maybe, they had a deeper, more personal reason. They could be missing the days when they would buy a Superman comic book, sit on the green grass on a sunny, summer day and read about Superman’s latest battle with Lex Luthor. Superman may have not won his fight on that particular day, but it was still fun to escape to a place where the good guy fights fair and eventually wins. Maybe if more people remembered the fun they used to have on sunny, summer days, the world would be a happier place. Superman always could save the day.
