We define complex Minkowski superspace in 4 dimensions as the big cell insidea complex flag supermanifold. The complex conformal supergroup acts naturallyon this super flag, allowing us to interpret it as the conformalcompactification of complex Minkowski superspace. We then consider real Minkowski superspace as a suitable real form of the complex version. Ourmethods are group theoretic, based on the real conformal supergroup and its Lie superalgebra.Comment: AMS LaTeX, 44 page
