The Global selling of a Super-Sequel often yields some interesting slants on advertising besides providing some great imagery. Despite its status among critics and fans as where the ‘rot’ started to set in conceptually, Superman III remains a literal comic-book brought to life (made all the more watchable on Blu-Ray thanks to digital wire removal).

  1. Back in '83, My father bought me the original: one sheet of the third one for my bedroom when I was a 10. They just don't make'm as fun and energetic like that anymore. Theres just a certain spark of magic to some of those classic designs. That was certainly a great summer.
