Invaders From Mars, Atomic Ray Guns, Mysterious Caves and Bad Guys Wearing Fedora Hats…Must Be Republic Serial Time!
Oboy…my copy of “Flying Diskman From Mars” came in the mail yesterday!
My collection of Republic Serials I Used To Raptly Watch On Saturday Mornings is almost complete now.
To this day the techno-nerd in me marvels at the special effects magic of the legendary brothers Howard and Theodore Lydecker. And perhaps the reason I still like working in black & white photography is so many of my Saturday morning adventures were in black and white. No…I am not having my second childhood. Ask anyone who knows me. I’m not finished with the first one yet. Tico you were wrong…my heritage isn’t Baseball, Mom, Apple Pie and Mickey Mouse. It’s Invaders From Mars, Atomic Ray Guns, Mysterious Caves and Bad Guys Wearing Fedora Hats.
