History Of Comics On Film Part 16

Hi my name is Derek Crabbe. My screen name over at Bottalk is derekwc, hence the derekwc presents. I was mainly inspired by James Rolfe and his Monster Madness Cinemasscre Reviews (also the Godzilla ones are pretty fun too!). I wanted to focus mainly on comic books adapted into tv shows and films. Kind of short synopsis and review with some historical perspectives and tangents thrown in for fun. There is a vast amount of material to cover and I probably won't have access to all of it, but I thought I'd go ahead and give it a shot. I probably won't have a part up every day and they might not all be in order (but I'll try my best). Note: I'm trying to limit my focus to comic books, maybe I'll go back and do comic strips or manga some other day. Hope you enjoy!

*****NOTE: I've added a new Intro now that this series has moved into the decade of the 60's. Let me know how you like it.******

I would've loved to see this made also. As I understand it 13 scripts were already written, and Kellogg was to be the sponsor, but declined. Execellant series Derek, thanks.

Human error. I guess I swapped the 5 and 4 without thinking. Thanks.

Great prequel to the George Reeves series, the Rockwell does a great job portraying Superboy the way Reeves would portray Superman.
