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:
“He that will consider the infinite power, wisdom, and goodness of the Creator of all things, will find reason to think it was not all laid out upon so inconsiderable, mean, and impotent a creature as he will find man to be; who, in all probability, is one of the lowest of all intellectual beings.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
““All the gods are dead: now we want the superman to live”Mon that great noon, let this be our last will.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
