(1910-1999) was the first actor to portray the Man of Steel on film. He
played the character Superman in the 15 episode serial film Superman
(1948) and its sequel Atom Man vs. Superman (1950). Alyn enjoyed a
loyal fan following for his two Superman appearances, reflecting that fact in
the title of his 1974 autobiography, A Job for Superman. The actor had
first appeared as a chorus boy in such major Broadway musicals of the 1930s as
Girl Crazy, Of Thee I Sing and Hellzapoppin. Moving to
Hollywood in 1942, he was briefly seen in Columbia's My Sister Eileen
(1942) and You Were Never Lovelier (1943).The Blackhawks began as
comic book heroes fighting Nazis, finding plenty of other foes in the
postwar world. Alyn starred in this serial version from 1952. Corners
lightly creased and worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
