Description

The DC Comics Originals series has a classic, slightly retro style, recalling the look most comic book fans grew up with and remember fondly. Basing itself on the 1980s DC Comics style, this series celebrates one of the most established looks for the DC Comics pantheon of Super Heroes, including the Man of Steel TM himself, SupermanTM.

First wave in an exciting new series! Celebrate DC Comics greatest Super Heroes presented in their classic form, just the way you love them! This is also a first-time appearance of villains Mister Mxyzptlk, Brainiac, Quex-Ul, Faora, General Zod and Lex Luthor on a Royal Canadian Mint coin!

The reverse design mimics a comic book splash page with a coloured and engraved rendition of Superman, flanked by those who would seek to destroy him. In mid-flight, the Man of Steel is on the defensive as he faces off against his foes: Superman’s greatest nemesis, Lex Luthor, is prominent at the far right in his battle suit; Phantom Zone criminals General Zod, Faora and Quex-Ul are above Lex Luthor in an attack position; and a robotic Brainiac flies alongside the diminutive Mister Mxyzptlk to complete the hoard.
