Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C. Superman stands full-length, cape streaming out behind him, fists clenched, looking off past a dark city skyline against a yellow sky - the \"SUPERMAN\" logo in red 3-D block letters along the bottom. No artist is credited on the print. The back carries Norman James' shield logo, the company's Vancouver imprint, the stock number, and \"TM \u0026amp; (c) DC Comics 1989. Used Under License.\" I love this pose - fists clenched, cape out, the whole city behind him. It's Superman the way a kid draws him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🏙️ Norman James Co. Ltd., Vancouver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman James was a Vancouver poster and print house that started up in 1986. In 1989, the same year as Tim Burton's Batman film, the company put out a numbered K-series of licensed DC and Marvel character prints - Wolverine (#K003), Batman (#K004), this Superman (#K005), Jack Nicholson's Joker from the Batman movie (#K002), and Spider-Man (#K011) among them. The same artwork also went out in a larger poster format under a matching 29xx numbering: this print's companion is Norman James' full-size Superman poster #2905. Norman James kept going into the 1990s, later putting out licensed NHL team posters - a 1991 Vancouver Canucks poster and a 1995 Pavel Bure\/Alexander Mogilny \"Dynamic Duo\" print among them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🦸 The Man of Steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperman was dreamed up by two kids from Cleveland, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and he first flew on the cover of Action Comics #1 in June 1938. By the summer of 1939 he had a comic all his own. That big red SUPERMAN logo with the blue edges running back into the distance on this print comes from those early covers too. Joe Shuster drew the logo a little differently every issue, until DC's letterer Ira Schnapp straightened out the letters and made the 3-D perspective consistent, and his version first ran on Superman #6 in 1940. It stayed on the comics until 1983, and it's still the one most people picture when they think of Superman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print came out in 1989, the year after Superman's 50th birthday and the same summer Tim Burton's Batman hit theaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e📏 Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1989 Superman print #K005, Norman James Co.
