1966 National Periodical Publications : Superman Stick-Ons
Superman Stick-Ons are a series of twelve comic stickers that were
sold in gumball machines during the late 1960s. Perforated four-panel strips
were packaged inside of a vending egg-capsule for 10 cents each. Each
sticker panel is approximately 2" x 7/8" and the images are randomly
sequenced. The series is copyrighted 1966 by National Periodical
Publications, Inc.
One sticker panel depicts Klar Ken T5477, the Superman of 2966 CE, battling
Muto, a super-brained mutant created by writer Edmond Hamilton and artist
Curt Swan. The
two sticker images of Muto are from the cover and title-page of
Action Comics
#338 (June 1966). The artwork was penciled by Curt Swan and inked by George
Klein.
Similar collections of Stick-Ons were produced in 1966 for Batman and Marvel Comics characters. A different series of Marvel Super Heroes Stick-Ons were distributed by Cracker Jack and Borden in 1979.
