Description
Joe Shuster - Superman Sketch Original Art (1942). Here is the world's most famous comic-book character, as drawn by one of his creators, Joe Shuster, with an accompanying autograph by co-creator Jerry Siegel. An amazing piece of spontaneous work by a pioneer in the comic-book industry, true to Shuster's initial conception of Superman as a barrel-chested carnival strongman. Not to mention, one of the finest Shuster Superman sketches we have seen. The medium places the drawing squarely within Siegel and Shuster's hometown territory -- a menu from Cleveland's Southern Tavern, boasting a $2.50 steak dinner and a 40-cent shot of Old Granddad Bonded Bourbon. Additional signatures include those of Frank Shuster (Joe's cousin) and Bella Siegel (Jerry's wife). The pure-graphite drawing (back cover of menu) measures 8" x 13". Toned, with edge wear and light smudging. Very Good condition.More information about Joe Shuster. See also: Shuster, Joe, Joseph Shuster, Shuster, Joseph, Artist.
