This pair of unassuming tortoiseshell eyeglasses in the style of our favourite mild-mannered Daily Planet journalist was recently discovered by SuperFan Alexei Lambley-Steel –
Closer inspection reveals the familiar crest of his famous alter-ego on the arms and fine print confirming DC Comics endorsement in the year of the release for Superman: The Movie. I can find no other record of this product anywhere nor any other tie-in for eyewear related to the movies so this find is pretty unique…
Those are pretty cool! Seems like an odd replica for the time…maybe a prototype, or they used Superman to help sell their frames although it's hard to imagine people wanting to emulate Clark.
Thanks for your comment –
They are a real enigma. Never in all my years of collecting have I ever seen or heard of these things so they are at the very least, unique if not the most screen-accurate. A valuation would be interesting also…
