CapedWonder.com is proud to announce the 2026 release of the Second Edition Hardcover of "The Making of Superman: The Movie", the definitive behind-the-scenes account of the 1978 cinematic classic, written by original author David Michael Petrou.

Originally published in December 1978 by Warner Books, Petrou's work has long been treasured by fans who have sought to understand the extraordinary craftsmanship behind the film that brought Christopher Reeve's Superman to life. More than forty years later, this new edition offers collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to revisit the story through an exclusive, limited-run hardcover, available only at CapedWonderAutographs.com.

Petrou reflected on the legacy of Donner's film and the enduring affection audiences continue to show for it, stating: "Superman: The Movie is a film from another era. Its authenticity and heart stand out in the world today. People long for that. Superman gives them that. I hope this book does the same."

This elegantly produced volume (5.75 x 8.75 inches / 14.6 x 22.2 cm) preserves the integrity of the original text while expanding the experience with twenty-two pages of newly added photographs. These rare black-and-white images, sourced from the CapedWonder Collection, include behind-the-scenes material that was prohibited from publication in 1978 due to the groundbreaking nature of the film's visual effects. For fans and historians alike, the Second Edition offers a revealing window into the artistry that helped define the modern superhero genre.

The collectible book is priced at $40.00 plus shipping and handling. To secure a copy, readers must submit a $20.00 non-refundable deposit per book by December 31, 2025. Quantities are extremely limited, and the book is not being mass-produced. Once the edition is ready in the first quarter of 2026, customers will receive an email with the remaining balance, including domestic or international shipping charges. Deposits may be placed via PayPal, and purchasers should include a note specifying that the payment is for The Making of Superman: The Movie book, along with their full name, email address, and a physical (non-P.O. Box) mailing address to ensure proper delivery.
