An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #1 (Dr. Vulcan - Traitor) Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) King of the Rocket Men, the 1949 Fred Brannon science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters"; "Power-packed Adventure!"; "There's never been such action... such suspense.. such dynamite-charged excitement in Any serial!"; about a group of atomic scientists who suspect a traitor in their midst, so one of the scientists becomes a super hero Rocket Man, and works on exposing the evil "Dr. Vulcan", who has a device that can cause an earthquake, and when the Mayor of New York City refuses to pay a billion dollar ransom, the device is used, and there is an earthquake and massive tsunami in New York City's harbor, which was done by reusing footage from Republic's earlier 1939 disaster movie, "S.O.S. Tidal Wave"!) starring Tristram Coffin (in the title role as Jeff King), Mae Clarke, House Peters Jr., Don Haggerty, I. Stanford Jolley (as Dr. Vulcan), and James Craven. Note that in 1951, this movie was massively edited into the Republic feature film "Lost Planet Airmen", and because it was made two years later, and because it was so condensed that entire characters were lost and major plot elements were eliminated, many collectors see it as a re-edited separate movie, and not as a feature version of a serial, so we list "Lost Planet Airmen" as a separate title, but we don't argue with anyone who sees it as the "feature version" of this serial. Note that in 1966, an entirely different feature version of "King of the Rocket Men" was created for TV distribution. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this full-color chapter 1 title card! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Note that this is from an amazing collection of serial title cards we were consigned from a man who started collecting them in the 1960s! There are 47 in all, in 47 separate auctions, and a number of them are extremely rare, and some are ones we have never auctioned before. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase one or many title cards from serial movies, and there likely won't be such an opportunity again for many years! Condition: very good to fine. There is a pinhole in the sky background below the "R" of "ROCKET" and the "M" of "MEN" in the title and tiny pinholes in the top and bottom borders. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
