Superman Kellogg's Sugar Smacks 1955

Sep 1, 2009

In 1955, Kellogg's Sugar Smacks cereal boxes gave-away a set of three comics and include titles Duel in space, The Superman time Capsule! and The Supershow of Metropolis; they were published by DC National Comics Publications Inc. The Supershow of Metropolis is a story based in Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen. But I don't wanna tell you about it, just read the book here.

Hake's Americana & Collectibles is one one of my favorite places on the web when it comes to finding vintage Superman Premiums, especially Kellogg's premiums toys. Here we have a 1955 mail-away "Flying Superman"; all you needed was 10 cents and one box top from the Kellogg's Corn Flakes box to receive this awesome flying toy..

Superman Kellogg's Pep Pin

Jun 30, 2009


These comic buttons were pack inside specially marked boxes of Kellogg's® Pep® cereal between 1945 and 1948. Here we have an example of that box; the front of the box has an ad for the Pep pins including an image from Superman, the back panel features a Superman 8-panel comic strip from a numbered series of at least 12. This is #1 and titled "Superman and The Terrible Underseas Monster." Back panel also mentions the Superman radio program. Kellogg's Pep cereal were the first sponsors for the radio show in 1945 and Kellogg's continues its association with the character through 1957 for the duration of the Adventures of Superman TV show.
