Mylar One-Sheet (26" x 40"); Advance
Fine+ Rolled
Warner Bros., 1978

The striking advance one sheet, adorned only with the famous "S" shield that has become synonymous with Superman, is a glorious memento of this landmark film. It deserves an honored place in your own Fortress of Solitude.

An impressive mylar with light general sporadic crimping and some edge wear, including corner creasing, crimping, and tiny tears, some of which have been reinforced with archival tape on the verso.

In 1978, the world truly believed a man could fly after seeing this instant classic directed by Richard Donner and starring Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel. With a cast that also included Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Ned Beatty, Glenn Ford, and Jackie Cooper, as well as a screenplay by Mario Puzo and a score by John Williams, no expense was spared in bringing this iconic character to life. Indeed, it was the most expensive film ever made at its release, with a budget of $55 million, and set the stage for three sequels. Inducted into the National Film Registry in 2017, Superman is considered one of the finest superhero movies ever made.

Estimate: $300 - 600
