Locke the Superman (超人ロック, Chōjin Rokku?) is a manga series by Yuki Hijiri which was later adapted into a movie and three OVA releases. The movie was given an obscure video release in the United States by Celebrity Home Entertainment as Locke the Superpower. Both it and the OVAs were later licensed and released by Central Park Media under the original name. Ten volumes were published in Poland under the tile Locke Superczłowiek.
As of 2012, Discotek have licensed the original Locke the Superman movie from 1984 and will be released on November 6. This is the first ever DVD release in the US. It will be from the remastered, anamorphic telecline print used for the Japanese DVD release. Discotek will provide both the Japanese audio with English subtitles and the original English dub from the 80's, which was previously released on VHS.
Famous quotes containing the words locke and/or superman:
“If a child were kept in a place where he never saw any other but black and white till he were a man, he would have no more ideas of scarlet or green, than he that from his childhood never tasted an oyster, or a pineapple, has of those particular relishes.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“The superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: the superman is to be the meaning of the earth! I beseech you, my brothers, be true to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes! They are poisoners, whether they know it or not.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
