Super-stuff From The Super Museum

Jim Hambrick, who operates the Super Museum in Metropolis, Illinois, has unveiled a newly-designed website, Supermanstuff.com, offering Superman-related goods the the Superman fan in your family.

According to Supermanstuff.com:

We are located at 517 Market Street at the Super Museum across from the Superman Statue in Metropolis, Illinois. Everyday hundreds of families and other Superman fans stop in the Super Museum to see the world's largest collection of Superman on the planet.

Jim Hambrick has been an avid fan and collector of Superman since the age of 6. After years of living in southern California Jim took his museum on the road. He traveled all across the country, even bringing along stars like Kirk Alyn, the original Superman, to sign autographs with his traveling museum.

After years of showing his collection, Jim heard about Metropolis, Illinois and began building relationships with local businessmen to build a Superman theme park. Although the park never was built, Jim continues to bring his genuine love of Superman to daily life in Metropolis.

Don’t believe me? You can see us on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Today Show, The O’Reilly Factor, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and many other television shows. Don’t forget to stop next time you’re in Southern Illinois and we’ll make sure you get the SUPER treatment.

I saw Hambrick's traveling show back in the early 1980s at Chapman College in Orange County, California. I obtained an autographed photo from Kirk Alyn, the silver screen's first Superman, which still hangs on my wall.

At Supermanstuff.com, one may purchase a wide gamut of items including t-shirts, beach towels, DVDs, stationery, posters, action figures, auto accessories, books and many other Superman goods.

Every June, Metropolis puts on its annual Superman Celebration, a weekend festival featuring actors and actresses from Superman movies and television shows.
