Description
Joe Shuster Superman Specialty Illustration Original Art (1977). One of comics' immortal creations, Superman, is spotlighted in this sensational full figure pin-up, created and inscribed to well-known Superman collector Gary Coddington, at the lower left. When Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created Superman in 1933, they couldn't possibly have predicted the eventual impact that he would have on pop culture. After being turned down by every other publisher of comics, DC finally printed the first Superman story in Action #1, comprised of edited panels from a series of rejected comic strips that Siegel and Shuster had initially created. The rest, of course, is history. In this superb Shuster portrait, the Man of Steel stands confidently, with his hands on his hips and he sports his hallmark devil-may-care grin -- there's no substitute for this classic vision of an American icon. The drawing is beautifully rendered with graphite and colored pencils, which almost have the "soft" surface quality of pastels. Here is a dynamic portrait of one of the world's most beloved fictional characters, with a special provenance. This piece has been matted and framed to an overall size of 27" x 35.5", and it's in Excellent condition.Auction Info
