Date Sold 12/15/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1941 Vintage Theatrical Chapter #6 (Lens Of Death) Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 10" x 13 1/4" [25 x 34 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!

The card was neatly trimmed to 10" x 13 1/4", but only blank white paper was affected. There is a piece of masking tape and areas of surface paper loss on the back of the borders, but the tape was not put there for a restoration purpose, and it has no effect on the front.
