Two Daily Planet newspaper covers from Richard Lester's Superman III. The Daily Planet reported on Superman's (Christopher Reeve) apparent change in morality as he wreaked havoc across the world. Several newspaper styles were made for production but ultimately unseen in the final cut.

This pair of black-and-white, production-made Daily Planet covers is headlined "Badman at Work!" and "Danger-Superman at Work," respectively. Both feature pictures of Superman alongside unrelated stories on the front and the subheader "Metropolis [sic] Greatest Newspaper." These covers exhibit creasing and horizontal fold lines from production use. Dimensions: (each) 24" x 17" (61 cm x 43.25 cm)

Estimate: $800 - 1,600
