Superman The Movie (Series 1)
   Topps U.K. - 1978

Notes:  This series was followed by a second series, with 66 more cards. An edition published in 
U.S.A. by Topps and in Canada by O-Pee-Chee contained 77 cards and 12 stickers. The U.S.A. 
set had variants for card-back content, and the same may be present here. Be forewarned about 
the U.S.A.-vs.-U.K. differences if you're building a set by the numbers.
