Latest Superman comic leaves CCAD’s Art Sign and Canzani Center in rubble

Open the latest issue of Action Comics (#1008, specifically) and you might see a familiar sight: Columbus College of Art & Design’s Art Sign and Canzani Center in remarkable detail, down to the stair-step railing in the Canzani Screening Room.
