Republic Top Ten
Fans love to make lists of favorites and I thought I would make a list of my favorite serials but after a few days the list got ungainly, I think when I stopped I had about forty-seven and was still going. The list was also becoming extremely Republic top heavy. So instead I compiled four lists of top ten favorites per studio. This had different difficulties, paring down Republic to just ten titles, finding ten Columbia serials to put on the list. But I managed it and so for the next four weeks I will be highlighting my favorite Republic, Universal, Columbia and Mascot/ Independent serials. First up is Republic:
Spy Smasher (1942)
Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941)
Manhunt of Mystery Island (1945)
The Purple Monster Strikes (1945)
Perils of Nyoka (1942)
Zorro’s Fighting Legion (1939)
Mysterious Doctor Satan (1940)
Dick Tracy (1937)
Captain America (1944)
King of the Rocketmen (1949)
Next Week: Top Ten Univerals
Good Choices - but I noticed you don’t have any post-1949 serials on the list.
