'Iconic Comic Book Covers - Superman Annual #1'
| |
A celebration of the iconic art that has
graced the covers of Superman comic books throughout all eras of
Superman's fame, from 1938 to the present.
Taken from Superman Annual #1, the coin's reverse image depicts the Superman of the New 52
universe as though he is stepping out of the image's field. As light
flashes crackle around him, his fixed, heated glare conveys strength and
power. His blue and red Kryptonian battle armour is on full display;
his familiar red cape crisply extends behind him as he moves away from
the glinting Fortress of Solitude seen along the left edge. A series of
concentric circles frame the image, further contributing to the design's
dynamic movement by creating an optical effect of motion.
