Auction History Result 7t700 KIRK ALYN signed 8x10 REPRO still '70s great flying portrait in Superman costume! Date Sold 1/22/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Kirk Alyn (born John Feggo Jr.) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. He is best known for being the first on screen Superman, in the 1948 serial, Superman, and in the 1950 sequel Atom Man vs. Superman. He also played the starring role in Blackhawk (which was also based on a D.C. comic hero). He had been 37 when he played Superman for the first time, and surprisingly, his movie career fizzled in the early 1950s (perhaps related to the end of serials), and he retired. In the 1960s and 1970s, he was regularly seen at comic book conventions, often selling autographed photos and repro posters to fans. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 88. Important Added Info: Note that this REPRO has been personally autographed (signed) by Kirk Alyn! About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer consigned these autographed items to us, and we have auctioned almost all of them in our previous signed auctions. The remaining items we are auctioning for this consignor were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. The REPRO is in nice condition!
