...why do I even bother?
The comic does the work for me!
Unless global warming kicks in quickly, this could be a really short serial!
The excitement continues right here on...
Before TV invaded Amercan homes in the late 1940s, movie serials were used by theatre owners to lure audiences back week after week!
And one of the most succesful ones was...Republic's Adventures of Captain Marvel!
Starring weightlifter-turned-Western star Tom Tyler (who also played The Phantom) as the Big Red Cheese, it was a non-stop thrill ride as Republic's legendary stuntmen performed feats today's wimps need CGI to pull off!
BTW, their SFX crew, the Lydecker Brothers, were no slouches, performing miracles on a shoestring budget!
