SUPERMAN II (1980)/SUPERMAN III (1983) - Superman (Christopher Reeve) Daily Planet and Le Figaro Newspaper Covers - Daily Planet and Le Figaro newspaper covers with Superman (Christopher Reeve) stories from Richard Lester's Superman II and Superman III. In Superman II, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) reported on Superman thwarting a French terror plot to destroy the Eiffel tower. In Superman III, international newspapers reported on Superman's apparent change in morality as he wreaked havoc across the world. Several newspaper styles were made for both productions but ultimately unseen in the final cuts.

This lot consists of two black-and-white, production-made news stock covers: a Daily Planet cover headlined "Merci Superman French Terror Scheme 'Bomb'" and a Le Figaro cover headlined "Le Scandal de Superman." Both feature pictures of Superman alongside unrelated filler stories. The covers exhibit horizontal fold lines, and the Daily Planet cover is torn in the top right corner from production. Dimensions: (each) 24" x 17" (61 cm x 43.25 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
