Amazing vintage original Superman character sketches by legendary comic book artist Joe Shuster, accomplished in pencil on two off-white 11.25 x 7.25 stationery sheets from The Oliver Cromwell luxury hotel in Manhattan, New York. The first sheet bears a wonderful drawing of Superman in a handsome, barrel-chested profile pose adjacent to a lovely portrait sketch of the recipient, Doris Reed, and is signed and inscribed in the lower right, “To Doris, with best personal wishes from SUPERMAN’s artist–creator — Joe Shuster.” The second sheet has drawings on both sides: the front features profile portraits of Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen, and the back contains a portrait sketch of the beautiful Lois Lane. Includes a vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Reed, a singer-actress then residing at The Oliver Cromwell. In fine condition, with light edge toning.
