The story ran counter to DC editorial policy at the time as it portrayed Hal Jordan and Clark Kent as old friends who knew each other's secret identities. This was not considered canon in 1989 and Gaiman was unwilling to change this aspect of the story (as each serial in ACW was edited by different editors, continuity was not being maintained by DC editorial).<a href="#cite_note-NG-69">[69]</a> The story was pulled and a different story, written by <a href="/wiki/Elliot_S._Maggin" title="Elliot S.

A departure from a strict monthly schedule was four giant-size Supergirl reprint issues published as a 13th issue annually: issues #334 (March 1966), #347 (March–April 1967), #360 (March–April 1968), and #373 (March–April 1969). Action Comics has not had an uninterrupted run, having been on a three-month hiatus on two separate occasions. The first of these occurred during the summer of 1986, with issue #583 bearing a cover date of September, and issue #584 listing January 1987. The regular Superman titles were suspended during this period to allow for the publication of John Byrne's six-issue The Man of Steel limited series.<a href="#cite_note-Standard-68">[68]</a> Publication was again suspended between issues #686 and #687 (February and June 1993) following the "Death of Superman" and "Funeral for a Friend" storylines, before Action Comics returned in June 1993 with the "Reign of the Supermen" arc.<a href="#cite_note-Standard-68">[68]</a> The series was published weekly from May 24, 1988, to March 14, 1989.<a href="#cite_note-GCD-Weekly-67">[67]</a> (See detail in <a href="#The_Modern_Age">The Modern Age</a> section above.) The temporarily increased frequency of issues allowed Action Comics to further surpass the older Detective Comics in the number of individual issues published. It surpassed Detective Comics in the 1970s when that series was bimonthly for a number of years. This change lasted from issue #601 to issue #642. During this time, Superman appeared only in a two-page story per issue; he was still the only character to appear in every issue of the series. An issue #0 (October 1994) was published between issues #703 and #704 as part of the <a href="/wiki/Zero_Hour:_Crisis_in_Time#Zero_Month" class="mw-redirect" title="Zero Hour: Crisis in Time">Zero Month</a> after the "Zero Hour: Crisis in Time" crossover event.

On June 1, 2011, it was announced that all series taking place within the shared <a href="/wiki/DC_Universe" title="DC Universe">DC Universe</a> would be either canceled or relaunched with new #1 issues, after a new continuity was created in the wake of the <a href="/wiki/Flashpoint_(comics)" title="Flashpoint (comics)">Flashpoint</a> event.
