Hello all,

I picked this up from a dealer in Hollywood who said he bought it from Christopher Dennis. He is well known as the Hollywood Blvd. Superman. A couple of documentaries on him out there. Always good to get 2md and 3rd opinions. Thanks everyone.

I have serious doubts about this signature. The flow and certain characteristics seem off to me.

There are so many examples out there it's hard. I do trust the seller though. Thanks for the input.

An early example from the 70s.

IMO, it's certainly in the ballpark. All of his signatures that I've seen that had strong provenance are different, lots of variations.

Thanks. I forgot I had thought of sending it to auction with some other items through Heritage last December. The only thing Margaret from Heritage said was it was too contemporary.
