As a longtime Superman fan, I couldn't resist. This ink is stunning and glittery, and writes smoothly on a variety of papers. Looks good on my ink shelf.

NOW THIS IS A FINE SCARLET. As fine as Superman's cape. Goes from bright red to deep. Has a light shimmery layer to it like his sweat. Lol jk the shimmery layer is like a nice pinkish to it. I very enjoy.

husband loves this gift. The shipping was timely and quality excellent

The "A View from Above" pen and ink set is gorgeous! The pen/nib write beautifully, too! So glad to have this as part of my fountain pen collection.

This pen is so cool! My husband is a huge Superman fan and has wanted to get into fountain pens, so this was perfect!!

Look up!

It's a plane, it's a bird, it's...the Superman collaboration I didn't know I needed!

This pen is beautiful, and it's the first time I've ever purchased from this company. While I have heard many wonderful things, nothing has truly pushed me to buy it until now. From the very first moment I saw the pen, I knew I needed to add it.

Not only is the writing smooth, but the shimmering from the ink is unparalleled. It glides very smoothly, and I know that it's something that will be built to last. At the high $250 price tag, I know it may seem expensive, but there's a reason for it. I dare say that it writes better than any other fountain pen I have owned over the years.

However, there is ONE thing about this pen that bothers me. It's something that another reviewer has already started, but the pen nib's imprint of the iconic "S" does not align with the section, despite what the image shows. I will discuss this further with the company to determine if there is a fault with this batch, as it appears to be a false advertisement, which is bothering me somewhat. Other than that, I have already purchased the red one as well and would be more than happy to consider getting the light blue to add to my collection.

The pen feels high quality and writes smoothly. The ink is the perfect shade of red with a nice amount (not too much) of shimmer.

Ever since I watched Superman, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I would need this one in my collection as well! I have the "dark blue" one that represents Superman, but I feel it's only right to have this one as well, which means Clark Kent. I dare say, the shimmering on this ink is even more mesmerizing in person—it’s truly a showstopper!!

I cannot stop looking at it!

The s fountain pen, paired with this stunning shimmering red ink, creates an experience that’s as captivating as the hero himself, made me swoon the entire time, and I am SERIOUSLY debating on adding the last one (Fortress "light blue") to my collection!

The pen itself is a work of art—its design exudes elegance and craftsmanship. The balance in hand is perfect, making long writing sessions a pleasure rather than a chore. The pen itself glides seamlessly across the paper and for ink that has shimmer, I do not see any issues!

The build quality is exceptional, with attention to detail that Ferris Wheel Press is renowned for. The cap clicks satisfyingly into place, ensuring your precious ink stays protected and ready for action whenever inspiration strikes.

Now, let’s talk about the ink—oh, the ink! THE SHIMMERING RED INKKK!! The shimmering red is nothing short of spectacular. It’s a rich, vibrant hue that immediately commands attention, and the shimmer adds a dynamic, almost magical quality to every letter and doodle.

Under good lighting, the tiny particles dance and sparkle, elevating even the simplest of notes into a piece of art. This ink isn’t just about color; it’s about making a statement, about capturing the essence of heroism and courage that Clark Kent embodies.

The ink flow is flawless, with no skips or blotches, even during extended writing sessions. The shimmer particles are perfectly suspended, ensuring every stroke is lively and full of character.

It dries relatively quickly, minimizing smudges, which is a huge plus for everyday use. Whether you’re journaling, signing documents, or just writing for fun, this fountain pen and ink combo elevates the entire experience.

In conclusion, Ferris Wheel Press has created a masterpiece with their fountain pen and shimmering red ink. It’s a perfect tribute to the hero behind the glasses—bold, resilient, and always shining brightly.

If you’re a fan of Superman, Clark Kent (like yours truly), or love exquisite writing instruments and inks that make a visual impact, this duo is an absolute must-have. It’s more than just a pen and ink; it’s a celebration of heroism, craftsmanship, and the magic of writing.

Scarlet Metropolis is a showstopper. The red is bold, rich, and full of energy, and the subtle blue shimmer gives it such a unique and unexpected twist. It's dramatic without being over the top, and every time I write with it, it feels like I'm making a statement.

The ink flows beautifully. It's smooth, even, and doesn’t skip or bleed. I’ve used it for journaling, notes, and even addressing envelopes, and it always looks vibrant and clean.

What I really love is how alive it feels on the page. It’s the kind of ink that turns even a quick note into something special. If you want something that stands out and feels full of character, this is the one.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves color, creativity, and a little bit of flair in their writing.

Scarlet Metropolis is a lovely shade of scarlet — bold and sophisticated. And pretty…

Love the red sheen in the blue. Superman packaging is super cool, love the whole concept!

I love Superman! This blue is so beautiful yet not distracting. I can use it for anything and the red and gold shimmers are to die for! I use this color for everything! I started with the 8ml one and then used it all up i had to get the bigger one! I rarely finish inks, it's that good!

This is my first test of a more professional ink. I found it easy to use and a beautiful dark blue addition to my shelf. One note: the glitter is a little hard to see come through. The shimmer is far more subtle than expected.

Absolutely my solitude! This icy blue shade just glides in the paper. Shimmers of silver sparkle on the paper. Makes me happy! Now if they only made this available in like a liter or gallon size I would be ecstatic!

I just got a new pen that has this color woven through it, so this was a perfect match and went right into my pen today. Great color and plenty of glimmer makes this a go-to ink!

This one looked pretty online, so I thought I'd take a chance on it, never having bought FWP ink before. It's exactly as I hoped. What a perfect teal color with silver sparkle. So far, I'm happy with my ink purchases. No buyer's remorse.
