There’s\u00a0a plethora of Superman related items that are being auctioned off to preserve the childhood home of his creator, Jerry Siegel. And a couple items will be of interest to movie fans.<\/p>\n
Novelist Brad Meltzer, through his Ordinary People Change the World<\/a> charity, has established The Siegel and Shuster Society. The organization’s mission is to raise enough money to repair the childhood home of Jerry Siegel–the home where he came up with the idea for Superman–and preserve it as a historical location.<\/p>\n The way the society plans to raise these funds is by a celebrity auction.<\/p>\n Of interest to movie fans is an early, unshot first draft of the original Superman <\/strong>movie, signed by Richard Donner. The script comes from the personal collection of comic creator Geoff\u00a0Johns.<\/p>\n Another, even more rare movie-related item is a Superman IV: The Quest for Peace <\/strong>T-Shirt signed by Jerry Siegel himself. The writer signed a bunch of T-shirts before he died and left them to his wife to sell if she needed money. She is giving one of them to the auction.<\/p>\n There are many more items donated by some of the biggest names in comic books and TV, including VIP passes for The Colbert Report <\/strong>and a walk-on role on NBC’s Heroes<\/strong>. A complete list of auction items is listed here. The items will be broken down and auction off over the span of four weeks. The first batch is on eBay<\/a> now.<\/p>\n Meltzer has recorded a video about the cause and why he believes in it:
