You Will Believe a Man Can Fly

There are certain individuals that will forever be associated with certain performances – Sean Connery as James Bond, David Lee Roth/Sammy Hagar as the frontman for Van Halen, and for most adults in their 30s-50s, Christopher Reeve as Superman.

DC Direct has just announced a fitting tribute to the actor who brough The Man of Steel to life – the Christopher Reeve as Superman Statue.

Arguably, the first decent comic book film, Superman holds a dear place in many comic fans hearts, and this statue would be the perfect addition to any collection.  Made of cold cast porcelain, the Christopher Reeve as Superman statue stands 12.5 inches tall and is expected to ship in June 2009.  Order yours today at Alter Ego Comics and save 10% off the retail price.
