This Week, The Actual First Appearance Of Kenan Kong, The New Chinese Super Man

Despite certain aftermarket speculation that saw Batman/Superman #32 sell out and go up in value, currently for up to $25 in raw and $150 at CGC 9.8, for a supposed first appearance of Kenan Kong, the New Super Man, at the time we weren't so sure.

And the writer of the new series clarified that it was not.

But the current preview of New Super Man #1 out this week, on CBR, does reveal more… and that the person behind that Chinese Superman clone is still working in the field.
