Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941, William Witney and )

By Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 26, 2017 From The Stop Button

About seventy percent of Adventures of Captain Marvel is narratively useless. Nothing occurring in chapters two through ten has an effect on how the story actually turns out. The serial has a great first chapter involving a tomb robbing archeological expedition in Thailand. Radio journalist Frank Co... Read full article

Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941, and William Witney), Chapter 12: Captain Marvel’s Secret

By Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 22, 2017 From The Stop Button

Captain Marvel?s Secret opens with yet another lackluster cliffhanger resolve. No reason to change it up at the end, apparently. The chapter has a lot to do in sixteen minutes.

There?s nothing nice to say about Doom Ship?s opening cliffhanger resolution other than it?s short and leads into an energetic fight scene for Frank Coghlan Jr. More than ever, Coghlan?s got the wrong timing for turning into Tom Tyler?s Captain Marvel this chapter. Unlike the times when Coghlan?s be... Read full article

Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941, and William Witney), Chapter 9: Dead Man’s Trap

By Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 19, 2017 From The Stop Button

Dead Man?s Trap is, I guess, a bridging chapter. It depends on what?s next. Otherwise it?s a treading water chapter. It picks up from the previous chapter?s ?cliffhanger? (quotations because it?s more of a ?beware the cliff 150 meters away? than anything else) and gives George Pembroke quite a bit t... Read full article
