February 9, 2016: "Superman IV - The Quest for Peace" TOPPS-Style Trading Cards Unveiled
Posted by Neil Cole
The product of years of diligent research, design and copy writing, this fan project has finally come to fruition and fulfilled its original brief – to plug a big hole in Superman collectable history.
Never officially produced for reasons still unknown, this Topps style "Superman IV: The Quest For Peace" Movie Picture Card series has been created from scratch using rare images compiled from the SUPERMANIA, CapedWonder.com and A Tribute To Christopher Reeve's joint collections to fill the void and illustrate the story of the longest, uncut version of the film as originally intended over 99 cards.
Considerable effort was made to give this set as authentically vintage appearance as possible to compliment the prior collections in the series perfectly and be indistinguishable in presentation and quality from any official release from the era from the traditional title card to the accompanying story breakdown on the reverse (incorporating all deleted scenes).
This full base set (Note: Stickers will be a future project) concludes with a special hand-numbered preview card of the unmade feature film, "Superman V" for this strictly-limited run of 50 sets (to tie in with Superman's 50th anniversary at the time).
SUPERMANIA highlights that this is simply a wish fulfilment fan-art project and does not intend to infringe copyright in any way. However, should you wish to learn more about the collection, feel free to leave comments below and an email address should you require more information…
