Item Description
Superman: The Animated Series was a critically lauded animated TV series that aired on Kids' WB from Sept. 6, 1996 to Feb. 12, 2000, w/a total of 54 episodes. DC Comics, Inc. produced, in very limited quantity, style guides for this show and were developed by DC for licensees, w/these guides providing all the artwork, typography, patterns, color palettes, editorials, logos, etc. needed by the licensee to develop whatever type of product they wish to produce following the necessary guidelines of DC Comics. This 1998 style guide supplement consists of 28 glossy numbered pages and thin cardboard backer, each w/three-ring hole punches at left as made. Supplement features various action shots and style guides for Superman, Brainiac, Parasite and Darkseid as well as Metropolis skyline pages and one page showing potential product packaging design. These guides were often cut up and sections removed to be used by the design and marketing departments of the companies that received them. This example is complete, uncut and shows just some lt. scattered handling wear. Exc. overall. A truly exceptional item and a must for any Superman collector. Incredible reference/insight into the marketing of this classic '90s cartoon. From the collection of Chip Kidd, renowned author, graphic designer and pop culture enthusiast extraordinaire.
