Good Morning, Big Shiny Roboteers! Today, we’re happy to add a column to the site that hearkens back to yesteryear. A time when children would pile into a movie house Saturday afternoons and be regaled by the derring-do of the heroes of the day! You could fly with Captain Marvel and Superman, swash your buckles with Zorro, or rocket into space with Flash Gordon! While we can’t guarantee that the magic of those bygone days can be recaptured, we’re sure as heck going to try!
That being said, out first offering is the first on-screen appearance of a hero who just graced the silver screen again, The Green Hornet! This serial adventure was released soon after the character was conceived for radio and as such is hugely responsible for how the Hornet and Kato are perceived visually. In fact, when the Golden Age incarnations of both characters are used today, they’ll still look similar to the appearances in this film. For our inagural column, we’ll be showing two chapters of this tale, but be sure to come back every Saturday morning, and we’ll resolve the cliffhanger for you!
