Re: 30s/40s serials

Buck Rogers, eh? Is the serial the original source for that concept?

Re: 30s/40s serials

Buck first appeared in Amazing Stories in 1928

Fascinating fact: his first name is Anthony

Here's a nice little website: http://www.buck-rogers.com/

"Just wondering if I am a lone voice in the crowd with my love for the old serials."

Certainly not, my friend! I just in fact sat through all those old Flash Gordons & King of the Rocket Men! Great stuff, nothing beats it. Those "Space Ranger Rocky Jones" flicks were a treat, too!

Welcome to a kindred spirit

I am the proud owner of a copy of Rocky Jones in 'Crash of The Moons' - wonderful stuff!

Cheers for the welcome!

Ah yes, "Crash of Moons"..."Menace From Outer Space"...wonderful stuff, for sure. (Tho' these are '50s, guess I've steered a bit off-topic? Sorry!)

Re: 30s/40s serials

Right now, I'm waiting on 'Jungle Girl' arriving from the USA. I've never seen it but all the reviews say it's one of Republic's top serials. I better get a load of popcorn in before it arrives
