Item Description
10.5x13.5" thin cardboard sign features classic, full body image of Superman in flight above his name/comic book logo w/"See It! The Thrill Of The Year! Paramount's Amazing Technicolor Cartoon," promoting the series of 17 animated Technicolor cartoons produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures. These cartoons marked Superman's first animated appearance. The pilot and first eight shorts were produced by Fleischer Studios from 1941 to 1942, while the final eight were produced by Famous Studios, a successor company to Fleischer, from 1942 to 1943. This sign dates to 1942 and has small Superman, Inc. copyright below Superman image and inked "Dec. 28 1942" date at lower right. Shown in Harry Matetsky's The Adventures Of Superman Collection book. Sign has moderate aging, more noticeable along top and right margins. Left margin has staple holes and there is a .25x3/8" spot of staining on Superman's face w/streak of moisture staining at bottom right corner margins. VG overall, but still displays nicely w/strong color. A rare promotional piece for these classic Superman cartoons, and this is the first example we've offered in our 56 years.
