High Resolution Photo Reference Archive: “Original Superman III Christopher Reeve Costume”
As a preface, I thought it appropriate to summarize the objectives of my ongoing series of articles about costumes in the marketplace attributed to use by Christopher Reeve in the Superman films of the 70s and 80s.
