Auction History Result 4c317 HOP HARRIGAN chap 12 movie lobby card R57 serial, William Bakewell, Lost in the Skies! Date Sold 3/5/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1957 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Chapter #8 ("Lost in the Skies") Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Hop Harrigan, America's Ace of the Airways, the 1946 Derwin Abrahams airplane aviation fighter pilot action adventure serial ("America's Ace of the Airways"; "Murdering guns blaze with thrills... chills... horror!"; "A Columbia Serial"; "Based upon the cartoon 'Hop Harrigan' appearing in All-American Comics Magazine"; "Created by John Blummer") starring William Bakewell (in the title role as Hop Harrigan), Jennifer Holt, Robert 'Buzz' Henry, Sumner Getchell, and Emmett Vogan. Note that Hop Harrigan started in All-American Comics, as did many classic DC superheroes, including The Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. He was not a true superhero, because he did not have super powers, and he was much like Tailspin Tommy, who preceded him. In 1941, he became a costumed hero, called "The Guardian Angel", but that only lasted four issues, and he returned to his uncostumed self. He never really "caught on" in a big way, but in 1946, Columbia was looking for additional superheroes to make movies out of, and they hit on this character, and made this serial, but it likely was not very successful, because movie paper on it is incredibly rare! If anyone knows more about this serial, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the lobby card says "A COLUMBIA REPRINT" in the lower left corner. This was a terminology used by Columbia Pictures at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This lobby card is the original lobby card from the 1957 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Condition: good. There are many pairs of staple holes scattered throughout the card.
