This lot consists of two black-and-white, production-made Daily Planet covers, one headlined "Twin Nuclear Missiles Test Confirmed" and one headlined "Superman Extinguishes Flames" alongside a picture of Superman. Additional unrelated stories are printed throughout both covers. They exhibit horizontal fold lines and folded corners from production. Dimensions: 24" x 17" (61 cm x 43.25 cm)
