Note that for this serial, Republic Pictures prepared great full-color artwork one-sheets that were completely different from each other for each of the chapters (at least for the four different ones we have seen!). One wishes that all of the studios had done this for all of the serials. What wonderful posters there would have been! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There is darkening around the edges and along the fold on the cover. There are staples down the spine, with some tiny stains and faint smudges on the cover. Learn More about condition grades
