1994 Kellogg's Canada : Superman Better Than Ever
In 1994, Kellogg's Canada released six-card Superman Better Than Ever series featuring 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 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.
