The "Man of Tomorrow", Protector of Metropolis and the entire world, has never been closer:
He crosses over into a new dimension and comes to life on paper in a brand new guise by starring in a commemorative stamp featuring images from the upcoming big screen action adventure “Superman” from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures.
The film from director/screenwriter James Gunn, to be released in Italy on 9 July 2025.
This tribute aims to pay homage to one of the most beloved heroes in the world of comics and cinema.
Superman is a superhero created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, which first appeared in the comic book Action Comics #1, published in the United States on April 18, 1938.
Superman was born Kal-El, on the fictional planet Krypton. As a baby, his parents Jor-El and Lara sent him to Earth in a small spaceship shortly before Krypton was destroyed in a natural cataclysm. His ship landed in the American countryside near the fictional town of Smallville, Kansas.
He was found and adopted by farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him Clark Kent. Clark began developing superhuman abilities, such as incredible strength and impervious skin.
His adoptive parents advised him to use his powers to benefit humanity, and he decided to fight crime as a vigilante.
To protect his personal life, he changes into a colourful costume and uses the alias "Superman" when fighting crime.
Clark resides in the fictional American city of Metropolis, where he works as a journalist for the Daily Planet.
Superman's supporting characters include his love interest and fellow journalist Lois Lane, Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, and editor-in-chief Perry White, and his enemies include Brainiac, General Zod, and archenemy Lex Luthor.
Superman is the archetypal superhero: he wears an outlandish costume, uses a codename, and fights evil with the aid of extraordinary abilities.
Although there are earlier characters who arguably fit this definition, it was Superman who popularised the superhero genre and established its conventions. He was the best-selling superhero in American comic books up until the 1980s.
