Superman (1948) Animation Cel
This is an original animated cel and photo from the 1948 Columbia film serial Superman. The 15 part B&W series 'Superman's Dilemma' starred an uncredited Kirk Alyn as Superman, and Noel Neill as Lois Lane. It was in fact the first live action appearance of Superman and was originally screened at movie matinees. Producers weren't happy with the flying sequences that were filmed, so animated sequences were used for the majority of the flying shots. This cel is one of the animations used for that purpose. The clear plastic cel has a tiny painted figure of Superman in flight carrying Lois Lane and has been placed over a white paper skyline photo of Los Angeles. A pretty rare piece of Superman memorabilia. (measures approx. 11"x 17")
