Superman DC Comics Vintage Japanese Menko Card Flying Pose Superhero Art Japan
Description
This listing is for one authentic vintage Japanese menko card featuring Superman prominently illustrated in his classic blue and red costume with one arm raised against a yellow background.
Menko are traditional Japanese paper game cards that were widely played by children during the Showa era. Because these cards were originally produced as inexpensive play items rather than long-term collectibles, surviving examples are now appreciated as unique pieces of vintage Japanese pop culture and retro paper ephemera.
The front artwork places Superman across most of the narrow vertical composition, with his red-and-yellow chest emblem clearly visible. His raised arm extends toward the upper edge, while architectural-style linear details appear behind the figure against a bright yellow area.
This is a rectangular (strip-style) menko card, a format less commonly seen than standard round types, adding to its collectible appeal.
This is an original vintage item produced in Japan and not a reproduction, reprint, or modern copy. A distinctive collectible for fans of Superman, DC Comics superheroes, vintage Japanese pop culture, and Showa-era design.
Condition
Pre-owned vintage item with age-related wear typical of Showa-era paper menko cards originally used for play.
The card shows age-related wear and handling. The reverse has visible surface disturbance and discoloration consistent with something having previously been attached and removed.
The printed artwork remains visible and recognizable.
Please review all photos carefully for exact condition details.
