The Adventures of Captain Marvel!!!
Another serial movie hero inked with a brush. This time it's the great Captain Marvel (who for years, as a kid, I thought was known by his magic word, "Shazam!") from the 1941 serial, The Adventures of Captain Marvel. It was the first film adaptation of a superhero, which just edged out The Mysterious Doctor Satan (1940), which began life as a Superman adaptation. Marvel was played by Tom Tyler...who, though I think still looks heroic in my depiction, I must admit that I lost him a bit in the inking. Tune in next time for what will be the final and one of the greats of serial stardom...here...at the B-List Super Hero Role Call!!!!
