1994 SkyBox Superman: The Man of Steel Platinum Series

Mae appears on three of these beautiful trading cards. The Panic in the Sky card is foil, whereas the others I have aren’t. I’m not entirely sure why that one is different–maybe there’s two versions of each card.

She appears on “Enter: Supergirl” #47, “Panic in the Sky” #64, and “The Vengeance of Supergirl” #82. Enter: Supergirl references Supergirl Saga, Panic in the Sky references the eponymous event, and The Vengeance of Supergirl is almost a direct redraw of the Action Comics (1939) #699 version of the confrontation scene from Supergirl (1994) #4.

I love how sharp she is on Enter: Supergirl, her sharpness is one of my favourite visual elements of her costume, and it’s great to see how it’s represented there. Her hair and the metal of her suit are fantastically drawn by Nelson on the Vengeance card–this one is almost always displayed on my shelf. Lex looks appropriately terrified and scruffy, Clark looks appropriately shocked, its beautiful. I really appreciate when Mae looks strong, and she definitely does here.

These are some of the most beautiful cards in my collection, and I’m happy to have them–I hope you’re happy to know about them too now <3.
