This was the hardest list I had to compile, mainly for the fact that of the major serial producers, I have seen fewer Columbia’s than any other studio. But I managed and here it is, my top ten favorite Columbia serials:

The Spider’s Web (1938)

The Secret Code (1942)

Batman (1943)

The Phantom (193)

Jack Armstrong, The All American Boy (1947)

Mandrake the Magician (1939)

Atom Man vs Superman (1950)

The Vigilante, Fighting Hero of the West (1947)

Blackhawk, Fearless Champion of Freedom (1952)

Bruce Gentry, Daredevil of the Skies (1949)
