Superhero Enterprises Mail Order Signed Edition, signed by Stan Lee and numbered to 2000. Ross Andru/Dick Giordano art. 1st Marvel/DC crossover. Superman and Spider-Man battle Lex Luthor and Dr. Octopus. Treasury size, 100 pages. Limited Signed Edition of 2,000

Superhero Enterprises sold an unknown number of copies of the limited edition WITHOUT Carmine Infantino's signature, accompanied by letters informing recipients that Infantino was no longer employed with DC Comics effective the end of January 1976 (but rather than disappoint customers, Stan Lee agreed to continue signing and numbering 'only' 2,000 copies).

While there are known signed copies in circulation that are not numbered, the ONLY ones we can confirm to be the actual mail-order limited editions are the copies that are numbered to 2,000 on the cover. Overstreet lists this a second printing limited edition of 5,000. However, an ad found inside select issues of Marvel Comics from that time period clearly contradicts Overstreet's claim. The ad, by Superhero Enterprises, identifies this as a special collector's offer limited edition of 2,000 copies signed by both Stan Lee and Carmine Infantino.

There is no evidence anywhere inside the book or advertisements that this edition is actually a second printing. With the ad casting strong suspicion on Overstreet's accuracy regarding this book, we assume this is a first printing.
