1994 Kellogg's Canada : Superman Better Than Ever
Superman Better Than Ever was released by Kellogg's Canada in
1994. The six-card series features characters from the
"Reign of the Supermen!"
storyline. One sealed tri-fold card was inserted into specially marked
Kellogg's products distributed in Canada. The folded cards measure 2.375 x
3.25 inches, smaller than a standard size trading card. The
Better Than Ever era began with the return of Superman to Metropolis in
Adventures of Superman #505 (October 1993).
The Superman and
Lois Lane title
images are from the 1991 Superman Style Guide illustrated by José Luis
García-López. According to García-López, "Joe Orlando, in charge of licensing
at that time, asked me to imitate Jon Bogdanove's style."
The back of the Superman panel features an image from the Superman Better Than Ever Art Portfolio by Jon Bogdanove and Dennis Janke. The interior dual panel is a 1991
DC Style Guide illustration by Norm Breyfogle and García-López.
The character biographies on each card are printed in English and French in
order to comply with the Canadian Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act.
Kellogg's PEP
cereal was first announced as the sponsor of
The Adventures of Superman
radio show on Mutual in August of 1942. In 1952, Kellogg's Corn Flakes became
a sponsor of
The Adventures of Superman
television show starring George Reeves.
