Paramount Studios gained permission to make a series of Superman cartoons to be based on the original comic strip. They contracted with Max and Dave Fleischer, who were currently working on other Paramount cartoons, to produce them. Offered here is an actual cel from the opening scene of the first-ever Superman cartoon. This professionally restored piece is extremely rare, as it is the only known cel from this classic opening sequence. The piece is in mint condition and is framed, matted, and ready for display.
