Auction History Result 1a488 SUPERMAN FLIES AGAIN linen signed 1sh '54 by Noel Neill, art of super hero George Reeves! Date Sold 4/29/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Autographed One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) the international release of Superman Flies Again, the 1954 George Blair & Thomas Carr compilation of 3 episodes of "The Adventures of Superman" TV comic book superhero fantasy series ("Jet Ace"; "Dog Who Knew Superman"; "Clown Who Cried") starring George Reeves (in the title role as Superman/Clark Kent), Noel Neill (as Lois Lane), Jack Larson (as Jimmy Olsen), John Hamilton (as Perry White), and Robert Shayne (as Inspector Henderson). Note that this was one of five compilation movies created out of episodes of this classic TV series. They were apparently solely shown outside the U.S. (which makes sense, since the episodes had been shown on TV in the U.S.), and we know that it is likely that one-sheets and lobby card sets were created for all five compilation features, but one-sheets from them are quite rare, and lobby cards are even more rare (which also makes sense, since lobby cards would have been far less likely to have been used in other countries). The other four titles were Superman and the Jungle Devil, Superman's Peril, Superman in Exile, and Superman in Scotland Yard. The only reason we know so much about these titles is because a pressbook was created for all five features, and we once auctioned it, and it sold for $412!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by Noel Neill (who put "Lois Lane" after her name)! Note that our consignor was a major collector of autographs on movie posters, and he would go to conventions where stars would appear in person and that is how he acquired this signature. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some separation and tiny creases along parts of some foldlines. There were some pinholes, smudges, and tiny paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and the restorer did not address the defects in the blank borders (likely rightfully assuming that they will not show when the poster is framed).
