1994 SkyBox Master Series: DC Comics Edition
The SkyBox Master Series: DC Comics Edition was released on June
22, 1994. It was the first fully-painted set to showcase DC heroes and
villains. Each box contains 36 packs and there are 6 cards in each
pack. Packs originally retailed for $1.49 each. SkyBox International
produced 10,000 individually numbered cases, each containing 20
boxes.
Each card features original painted artwork created exclusively for this
series. The base cards are UV coated and stamped with gold-colored foil. Each case contains 20 boxes and an uncut four-panel sheet of foil inserts S1–S4. The odds of finding one of four foil inserts are 1:18 packs. The featured characters are Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Hawkman.
Superman headlines the base set on card #1. The painting by John
Estes was reprinted in the DC Comics Pepsi Cards series.
Superman and Doomsday are featured on a "Double-Sided Spectra" insert. The odds of finding one of the six etched-foil cards are approximately 1:36
packs. The Superman and Doomsday images were painted by Tom Fleming. Both paintings were reprinted in the DC Comics Pepsi Cards series.

The odds of finding the "Superman SkyDisc Redemption Card" are 1:240 packs, or about 3 per case. The "Superman SkyDisc" hologram card was available through a mail-away redemption that expired on December 31, 1994.

Six different promo cards were distributed
through dealers, magazines, and comic conventions. Four-panel 8 x 10 inch promo sheets were issued with white borders, or
blue borders numbered to 1,000. Uncut sheets and test proofs were released to the public by Fleer/SkyBox International.
Many artworks from Master Series: DC Comics Edition were
later used in the 1995
DC Comics Pepsi Cards
collection released in Mexico.
Like many other releases of the mid-1990s, the front of the cards contain a
UV coating. It is common for the base cards to become "bricked," or stuck
together if improperly stored.
