Catalogue note
Original first-release Cover E of Superman #39, pairing the “Prime Time Part Four: Superboy-Prime Versus Infinite Crisis!” story with Stanley “Artgerm” Lau's Supergirl Movie promotional variant. The object documents a deliberate 2026 comics-to-film crossover: GCD identifies the cover as a Supergirl movie variant, while the physical front carries DC Studios Supergirl theatrical promotion for June 2026. The issue itself uses Superboy-Prime's continuity awareness as a narrative device, moving through DC's publishing history and past event continuity.

Why this object matters
The Artgerm Supergirl movie cover is direct physical evidence of DC’s 2026 comics-to-film promotion. This relationship supports strong 8.0 status, while its advertising role and original printing do not alone establish an outstanding object.
Evidence limits: The comic is preserved within a Collect Forever Soft Slab. Front and reverse are visible, but the interior, staples and full page sequence cannot be physically collated from the supplied photographs; no separate premium or supplement is evidenced in the material supplied.
