Adventures of Superman #596 Recall

Unverified recalls and returnable comics
This section lists comics that have been rumored as recalls or have been voluntarily returnable to the publisher (i.e. a recall notice was not issued). None of these comic books are listed in the Collectors Society as being recalled (in the "Recalled Editions" competitive comic book set).

Adventures of Superman #596
November 2001, DC Comics
This issue was shipped to stores the day after the September 11 attacks in New York City. Due to an unfortunate coincidence the Superman comic features a scene in which Metropolis' twin LexCorp Towers have sustained damage due to events in the "Our Worlds at War" storyline. DC quickly announced that the issue was returnable although few, if any, were actually returned.[17]

Superman at WTC

The following postings are related to comics (comic books) and this "industry's" reaction to September 11th. As I've mentioned, September 11th impacted material culture in a way that no other event has in American history. It may be fair to say September 11th had an impact (definition impossible) on the world too. Comics and comic books have always reflected "real world" events. For example, during WWII, Wonder Woman battled the Nazis as one of her foes. In the following posts, comic book writers and artists react in concert, offering a number of tributes. In this example here, an American icon, Superman, carries a firefighter away from the rubble of the WTC.
