Description
Joe Shuster - Panel Strip Engraved Printing Plate (circa 1930). Before creating the Man of Steel, Superman artist Joe Shuster drew this panel of students "surprising" one of their own, as a smiling teacher looks on. This appears to have been done for Shuster's high school newspaper, the Torch, during the time he and Jerry Siegel were attending Glenville High School, in Cleveland. The art for this item has no doubt disappeared long ago; what remains is the original metal printing plate for the panel, which is mounted on a block of wood measuring 2" x 2 1/8". A page with two prints made from the plate is included, and both items are in Excellent condition.More information about Joe Shuster. See also: Shuster, Joe, Joseph Shuster, Shuster, Joseph, Artist.
