2013 Canada Post : Superman 75th Anniversary

On September 10, 2013, Canada Post issued a series of postage stamps and postcards to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Superman. Six different stamp designs reproduce cover illustrations from the Superman comic books from 1939–2012.

Coil stamps and Day of Issue envelopes reprint the Special Collector's Edition cover of Man of Steel #1 (October 1986), illustrated by John Byrne. The back of the coil stamp roll contains a Kryptonian message translated in English and French: "The 'S' shield is more than Superman’s family crest. It’s a Kryptonian symbol that means 'hope'."

Ten commemorative stamps (two of each design) are available in five different booklet covers. Six million ten-stamp booklets were produced. Five-stamp souvenir sheets are limited to 250,000 copies. Uncut press sheets are limited to 7,500. The stamp images and booklet covers appear on sets of five postage-paid postcards.

The Superman 75th Anniversary collection was designed by Kosta Tsetsekas and Jasper Murphy of Signals Design in Vancouver. The stamps were printed by Lowe-Martin in Ottawa. The collection was showcased in the September 2013 issue of Details magazine from Canada Post.

In October 1995, Canada Post issued a Superman stamp as part of the Superheroes collection. The series honors Canadian creators in the comic book industry. The Superman 85th Anniversary series of commemorative stamps was issued by Australia Post on June 13, 2023.
