International newspaper covers made for the production of Richard Lester's superhero sequel Superman III. As Superman (Christopher Reeve) succumbed to an infection from tainted Kryptonite, he steadily became more immoral. These newspapers were created for the scenes in the latter half of the film as people around the world started to turn on their fallen hero, but were ultimately not seen on screen.

This lot consists of a pair of production-made newsprint newspaper covers, one in French and one in Japanese. Both covers feature the same image of Superman, while the French version features the headline "Le scandal de Superman." They exhibit signs of use and wear, including some creasing and discoloration, but remain in good overall condition. Dimensions: 16" x 12" x .75" (40.75 cm x 30.5 cm x 2 cm)

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000

This item comes with a Propstore Certificate of Authenticity
