2015 Canadian $20 Iconic Superman Comic Book Covers: Superman #28 (2014) - 1 oz Fine Silver Coloured Coin

2015 Canadian $20 Iconic Superman Comic Book Covers: Superman #28 (2014) - 1 oz Fine Silver Coloured Coin

Superman #28 features a stylistically different approach to its cover, with Superman lifting the title of his own comic book as he “breaks the fourth wall”. Features all the brilliant colour and energy of the original cover!

While following a lead on a story, intrepid reporter Lois Lane is suddenly ambushed by armed criminals; surprisingly, she is able to disarm these criminals with her strange psychic powers! Unusual things are happening in space too, where a mysterious, luminous door seems to be floating in Earth's orbit. Superman's attempt to move it is intercepted by Dr. Shay Veritas, who points out that they don't know what the consequences could be. Returning to his apartment, Clark Kent is surprised to find his former roommate Jimmy Olsen there—it seems a life of riches doesn't agree with Jimmy. Jimmy's return is timely as he dispenses some friendly advice: if Clark is being offered millions for his blog by media tycoon Morgan Edge, then he must be very close to an important story. As Superman pursues Lois' leads on the gang, he discovers they have a powerful benefactor—just as superhero Starfire bursts in looking for a fight…but why?

Design

As seen on the cover of Superman #28 (2014), the reverse image features Superman in his Kryptonian battle armour, lifting the title of his comic book with the help of his heat vision and super strength. Dust and debris fall from the SUPERMAN title, as our superhero's red-coloured cape billows in the wind. The reverse image's detailed engraving is enhanced by the application of vibrant colour, all of which are framed within a series of concentric circles that add depth to the design and create the illusion that Superman is poised to leap out of the coin.

Packaging

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded customer paperboard box.
