    Default Identifying a Superman Poster

    Hello you all, I'm another noob who is in need of some fan expertiese. I am trying to ID a poster I once had when I was 9 or so, which I lost in a move half way across the country. Here is a picture of it:



    In the bottom right hand corner of the poster is the superman emblem (all blue, as you can barely see, heh) with the word Superman sprawling across it with some words being on top of the name ("The ultimate" or "the real" or something, I can bnarely recall). Any tips that can point me in the right direction will be appreciated. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be one of those ultra-rare posters that I would have to spend hundreds on to get again.

    I have that poster. It says, "Superman: Better than Ever". It came out in 1992 or 1993. I got it in 93. I don't think it was that rare. It was out for a year or two. I got it at a Wal-Mart.

    The pic was published as part of "Superman Art Portfolio" in 1993. There were 9 images in it.

    Here's more from it:

    Correct. The one I have and that the OP is asking about doesn't have any background and is just a static image. Those others were more detailed images by the various Superman artists of the time.
