An Original Vintage Matted Animation Cel (measures 13" x 15 1/4" [33 x 39 cm]) (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: There are three animation cels (one with Superman, one with the elephant, and one with the two soldiers). They have been placed overlapping as intended in a triple mat (but the mat can be opened so you can see all three cels). Also note that this animation cel comes with a "certificate of authenticity" from Gallery Lainzberg, plus a sticker from the gallery (intended to be attached to the back of the mat or frame). Note that this is one of thirteen excellent animation cels we have been consigned. In 2012, we held a special auction of animation cels, and our consignor purchased these thirteen from that auction and has now reconsigned them to us 11 years later. This is a rare opportunity to purchase these nice animation cels, which may not be offered again for many years, if ever! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
