An Original 1951 (from the first release of this movie in Denmark) Vintage Theatrical Folded Danish Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/4" [62 x 84 cm]) (Learn More) Adventures of Captain Marvel, the 1941 John English & William Witney comic book superhero fantasy serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters"; "Based on the character in WHIZ COMICS Magazine" by C.C. Beck; about the boy who becomes a superhero when he says "Shazam" and he fights a mysterious masked villain called "The Scorpion") starring Tom Tyler (in the title role as Captain Marvel), Frank Coghlan Jr. (as Billy Batson, Captain Marvel's youthful alter ego), Louise Currie, William 'Billy' Benedict, Robert Strange, Kenne Duncan, Stanley Price, and John Davidson. Note that no one is credited as playing the lead masked villain, "The Scorpion" but IMDb notes that Gerarld Mohr voiced The Scorpion (uncredited). Note that Republic Pictures had tried to make a deal with DC Comics to make serials of Superman and Batman in 1940, but they could not agree on a deal, and in fact a lawsuit resulted. So instead they made a deal with Whiz Comics and made this serial in 1941, and the serial "Spy Smasher" in 1942 (and DC Comics signed with Columbia Pictures in 1943, and made their Batman and Superman serials there!). So this was the very first of the many "live action" movies based on the costumed super heroes, and, likely because it was released at the start of America's involvement in World War II, and there were paper drives over the next few years, original 1941 movie paper on this title is EXTREMELY rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: K. Wenzel Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Danish poster (or the Danish poster for the second half of the series either)! Note that this serial was split into two different parts when it played in Denmark in 1940 (perhaps they showed them at Saturday matinees there). We know that for certain because the cover of the Danish program references Part I, and it lists the first six chapter titles, so we know that was what was being shown when this poster was being displayed. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is the tiniest of paper loss at the bottom crossfold and a few creases and scuffs on parts of the folds, with a tiny tear in the lower left border. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition, and the colors are really bold! Learn More about condition grades
