Farrell MacDonald, and Stanley Andrews. Note that this movie was released theatrically. After it proved very successful, George Reeves was hired for the "The Adventures of Superman" TV series along with Phyllis Coates (who left the series after the 1st season and was replaced with Noel Neill, who portrayed Lois in the first 2 Superman serials). Also, this movie was shown as a special two-part episode of the TV show! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and that was 19 years ago, when it auctioned for $2,530! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has minor wear on the folds. It has a crease in Reeves' cheek at top center, with a tiny pinhole in his chin. It has a 1" tear near the top of the right border, which has a piece of yellowed tape on the front. It has a few small tears around the edges, and someone put some small pieces of tape on the back of just a few. It has tape on the front of each top corner and it had tape on the front of each bottom corner, but it was removed, causing surface paper loss, but solely in the blank borders. It had a small brown stain above the "M" of "SUPERMAN" in the yellow background area. There are two pinholes and a small tear near the center of the top blank border. In spite of these many small defects, this poster can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to have restoration perform. Either way, the new owner will have an extremely rare and desirable poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
