Description
The DC COMICSTM Originals series has a classic, slightly retro style, recalling the look most comic book fans grew up with and remember fondly. Basing itself on the DC COMICSTM style of the 1980s, this series celebrates one of the most established looks for the DC COMICSTM pantheon of SUPER HEROESTM, including the seven brought together on this stunning coin's reverse.
Established with firm Canadian roots, SUPERMANTM was the first SUPE HEROTM, spawning countless new characters in the DC COMICSTM pantheon. He was the inspiration for a new archetype that not only still exists today, but is more popular than ever. Many important Canadian visionaries continue to shape the DC COMICSTM Universe even today, lending their talents as storytellers and further building on the history that began in 1938. The reverse design features a mosaic of some of the greatest SUPER HEROESTM in the DC UNIVERSETM, all in classic action poses. In the foreground, rich colour recreates the iconic costumes of “The Trinity”: the blue, grey, black and yellow of Batman’s costume as he swings into battle; the bright red, yellow and blue of Superman’s bold S-Shield as he flies through the air; the red, yellow, white and blue of Wonder Woman’s multi-patterned costume with the powerful Lasso of Truth strapped to her belt. Behind them are the engraved depictions of the next generation of DC COMICSTM SUPER HEROESTM - BATGIRLTM, NIGHTWINGTM, SUPERGIRLTM and WONDER GIRLTM - who are always eager to join the fight. This dynamic group shot is engraved over a laser halftone pattern that adds a modern graphic element to the design, while completing the coin's classic comic book look and feel.
New fans welcome! By combining vivid and meaningful packaging with an inspired coin design, this series is an excellent introduction for comic book fans to the world of coin collecting.
