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 (see storyboard art for this episode offered in this auction, lot #1093) 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. Shown in Harry Matetsky's The Adventures Of Superman Collection book. Sign has moderate aging and handling wear w/pin hole at top center and staple holes along right margin w/some 1/8" to .5" tears by them. Two spots of moisture staining above "See It!" text at top left. 2.5" heavy vertical crease at bottom center. VG overall, but still displays nicely w/strong color. A rare promotional piece for these classic Superman cartoons, and this is just the second example we've offered in our 56 years (the previous example selling in our July 2023 auction for $2,205). Harry Matetsky Collection.
