1993 SkyBox Marvel X-Men Series 2 Deadpool Trading Card #28

This is a vintage 1993 Marvel X-Men Series 2 trading card featuring the character Deadpool, produced by SkyBox. The card measures standard trading card size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) and is constructed from glossy cardstock. The front of the card depicts Deadpool in his classic red and black tactical suit, wielding a katana and a firearm against a dramatic, explosive background. The artwork is credited to artist Greg Capullo, whose signature is visible in the lower central part of the illustration. The design features a distinctive purple border with a repeating X-Men logo pattern. The word 'DEADPOOL' is printed in large, white, stylized vertical lettering at the top, while the bottom includes the text 'SUPER VILLAINS' and 'X-MEN: SERIES 2'. The card appears to be housed in a protective top-loader or professional grading sleeve, which has kept the colors vibrant. While a yellow sticker or object obscures the bottom right corner in the image, the visible portions of the card exhibit sharp corners and clean edges, suggesting a high-quality state of preservation. This specific series is part of the 1990s comic book trading card boom, known for its high-quality comic art and detailed character bios on the reverse side.
