Superman IV Storyboards Cont’d…
More the Big Red Book and the continuation of the first round the world encounter with Nuclearman II. These scenes were among those omitted for the US release but present in the European cut.
Printed in blue (presumably as a revision), this is the first instance of incorporating stills from footage already shot into storyboards I’ve ever seen..!
Commemorative Custom…
With the licence for Christopher Reeve’s likeness finally available to toy companies and in great anticipation of Hot Toys reveal of the long-awaited tribute to the classic Superman Movies, shown above is the best action figure representation to date. 100% handmade using cast parts from various 1/6 figure bodies topped with an all-original headsculpt, US artist Kristopher Meadows first submitted his prototype (pictured top) for a custom figure competition in the pages of Tomart’s Action Figure Digest in the mid-nineties. Based on euphoric fan reaction Kris then produced a VERY limited run for a few lucky collectors. From the screen-accurate costume fabric to the real leather boots, this custom has a quality unsurpassed by many of today’s offerings having been produced by a passionate fan with considerable care and attention. Christopher Reeve himself would endorse the artist in the years before his passing by having one of Meadows portraits hanging from the wall of his office…
Chow For Now…
One in a series of cultural icons of the 20th century rendered in considerable style is this illustration of Christopher Reeve’s Superman by UK artist Stanley Chow. From an impressive portfolio with work appearing from everything to The Washington Post to Vanity Fair his instantly recognisable iconography is both amusing and modernist. Now available as everything from print to Gelaskin, go here to visit Stanley’s site where he states simply about his subject; “My love for Christopher Reeve as Superman will never die…”
