1958 Fher : Superman en El Planeta Condenado
Superman en El Planeta Condenado (The Doomed Planet) is a 240-piece paper card set and collector album issued in 1958 by Editorial Fher, S.A. in Spain. The artist and writer for the series are not credited. The original album
cover is based on artwork by Superman illustrator Wayne Boring. The card descriptions and album text is printed in Spanish.
Superman en El Planeta Condenado was originally sold in pink paper envelopes that each contain two cards. The packets are printed in either black or blue ink. The checklist is comprised of 240 paper cards that measure approximately 2 x 3
inches, smaller than a standard size trading card.
A 32-page
collector album includes text descriptions for each card printed in Spanish. The cards, or cromos, are meant to be glued or pasted inside the album. In 1973, Fher released a reprint album with additional story material and a smaller set of 210 cards. Fher later released similar sticker collections and albums for Superman: The Movie and Superman II.
Collector album sticker-cards are often referred to as cromos or
figuritas in Spanish. The collectibles are called vignettes in
French, figurines or panini in Italian, and figurinhas in
Portuguese. Many sticker album collections released in the 20th century
required paste or glue.
