Superman's Dilemma Chapter 11 black and white Columbia Serial
Superman's Dilemma Chapter 11 black and white Columbia Serial. SUPERMAN (1948) - from the famed Columbia serial comes this screen used animation cel depicting Superman in flight (over a recreated background of Metropolis designed to look like one of the lobby cards used to promote the film in theatres). Columbia could not afford to fly actor Kirk Alyn, so they hired Disney studios to animate the man of steel soaring over Metropolis instead. Alyn would dart from view behind a building and his animated counterpart would emerge moments later in flight. A very rare artifact from Superman's very first appearance on screen, and a charming nod to his comic book roots. (approx. 17" x 11")
