These very early storyboards for the opening sequence of "Superman III" were collected over the years from many sources and are all original pencil drawings. Most are not drawn or pasted onto "official" production storyboard templated, having been drawn in rough pencil over regular paper, and it is this lack of production markings or numbering that renders them so difficult to put in proper order. They were drawn by Mike Ploog. The earliest script I could find online was the revised version, dated April 1982, which was used here. I am happy to say that a final draft from June 1982 is part of my collection, and you can find it elsewhere on the site.

This is a sort of puzzle. What fits where is a mystery, so any ideas of the correct sequence are most welcome. Meanwhile, enjoy!

You can only see 5 storyboards on PropBay, but all are available, within the proper context of the screenplay here: Nuno Miranda's Original Film & TV Props Collection: Superman III (1983) Early storyboards for opening sequence
