The sale carnage continues at Maysh Heights. I’m a massive Superman fan, primarily of the first of the franchise, ‘Superman’ (1978), but my collection includes stuff from the other more comedic films. And these original production drawings are going to be sold soon. They’re original artist’s drawings that accompanied the script while the film was being schemed out. They are all hand drawn by comic book artists and are obviously quite valuable, however I’m told frames with the caped, Kryponite-fearing superhero in are worth ten times the ones without.
Superman III, I feel, was when the series lost its way. I mean, I love Richard Pryor like no other comic of the era, but as a kid I was convinced Superman was real, as in a documentary. And having a stand-up in the film meant the film was kept under ‘comedy’ in Blockbuster in Croydon, which infuriated me.
Anyway, the frames will be going on eBay shortly, so watch this space. And of course, they come with a letter of authenticity from The Prop Store, an LA/London based leading movie prop company.
