Description

Adventures of Captain Marvel (Republic, 1941). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Fawcett Comics' Captain Marvel battles the evil Scorpion in the first filmed version of a comic book superhero. It turned out to be one of Republic's greatest serials. Originally, the studio planned to do a Superman serial but negotiations with DC/National Comics fell through. DC even sued Republic in an attempt to stop production. Western star Tom Tyler played the Captain with Frank Coghlan Jr. portraying his alter ego, Billy Batson. The poster has been mounted on linen, trimmed to the border, and has had limited restoration to correct some staining, a few tears, and border chips. Very Good- on Linen.
