A medium sized reproduced poster of Columbia's 1974 'Superman - Chapter 5 A Job For Superman' staring Kirk Alyn, Tommy Bond, Carol Forman and Noel Neill. The poster is printed on good quality cream paper and is in colour; the poster is framed around 5cm of the cream paper, giving it an outline.. The date 1974 is given, however the year the poster was made is not shown. The poster predominately features the name Superman and makes use of the iconography and recognisability of the comic books on which the poster highlights the film is based. The main image of the (coloured) poster is of a cartoon drawing of Superman, with images of a woman in distress and Superman carrying out numerous heroic acts (i.e. lifting cars and flying) in the background. The bottom left of the poster has a still medium shot image taken from the film, which shows Superman throwing a large man (dressed like a gangster to the ground). The poster has a small capture reading: 'based on the Superman adventure feature appearing in SUPERMAN and ACTION COMICS magazines, in daily and Sunday newspapers coast-to-coast and on the SUPERMAN radio program broadcast over the Mutual Network.'
