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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is from one of a series of posters DC Comics created between 1980 and 1982. In each of them, Superman showed the perils of smoking, and it was part of the national campaign to reduce smoking in the U.S. There was also a similar campaign in England with an evil character named "Nick O'Teen", whose hat looked like a cigarette butt, and those posters had forms that could be cut out and mailed in for more information, and a reported 800,000 people (mostly teenagers) sent in the forms in England! We think that this poster is from the U.S. version of this campaign and not the English version. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. A knowledgeable collector tells us that the artist is very likely Curt Swan! 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. There are some creases around the edges and fine surface paper loss on the fold. Learn More about condition grades
