An Original Vintage 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Still (Learn More) Superman is the D.C. Comics comic book superhero created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster who first appeared in Action comics #1 in 1938. The Superman franchise has spread to almost all forms of media including books, television shows and several films. Considering his popularity, it took a surprisingly long time for a live-action film to be made about Superman. In 1940, Republic Pictures approached DC Comics about doing a serial based on Superman but the negotiations broke down and, after they lost the rights due to legal issues, Republic ended up making a serial based on Captain Marvel in 1941. In 1948, Columbia Pictures finally made the first live-action Superman serial, called "Superman", and two years later, they made a sequel called "Atom Man vs. Superman". Although Superman was not the first superhero character, he popularized the superhero archetype and defined its conventions. Superheroes are often judged by how closely they resemble the standard established by Superman. Important Added Info: Note that this great still shows the creators of Superman, decades later, reading what the snipe identifies as "a copy of the first original Superman comic book", which "the asking price is now $4,000" (and they are being deceptive, because it is, in fact, a "copy" of the comic and not the original!). Further, the snipe says that they're "disillusioned and broke - only have memories now". For many years, the public believed that these two men had been duped by D.C. Comics into selling Superman to them for a tiny amount of money, but that is only a small part of the true story, because they actually received millions of dollars over the years, but unfortunately, they did lose all of it on various business ventures, and they did die broke. It is one of two stills of this famous duo we are currently auctioning (the other shows them posing with a giant cartoon image of their famous creation). Condition: very good to fine.
