Collins World War II (WWII) military war action serial ("13 thrilling chapters"; "Based on the Newspaper Feature Entitled 'Don Winslow of the Navy', Owned and Copyrighted by Frank V. Martinek") starring Don Terry (in the title role as Don Winslow), Walter Sande (as Red Pennington), Elyse Knox (as Mercedes), June Duprez (as Tasmia), Philip Ahn (as Hirota), Lionel Royce (as Reichter), Nestor Paiva (as The Scorpion), Charles Wagenheim, and Edgar Dearing NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Note that this pressbook was printed on a large 14" x 34" sheet that was tri-folded to create six "pages". We have provided images of the entire interior three pages and the entire exterior three pages, as well as a separate image of the cover. In addition, we have pictured the supplement completely opened (it is folded into the pressbook, but measures 14" x 34" when unfolded). Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Note that we are auctioning 74 pressbooks in this Part II of our March Major Auction. 62 of those come from a single collector who was attempting to assemble EVERY pressbook from movie serials that were based on either comic book or comic strip characters, and he spent many decades doing so, and he came very close to getting every one there is! These include many that we have never auctioned in all our years of auctioning, and may well never auction them again! This is a very rare opportunity for collectors to acquire these ultra rare pressbooks (which are even more rare than the posters from these same serials, likely because they were sent to very few theaters, and likely most of those theaters immediately threw them out). If one started to try to assemble a similar collection without purchasing any of these pressbooks, they would likely spend many years before they could acquire even a small percentage of them. That is how rare these are! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The covers are separated at the spine and there are tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss around the edges. The pressbook was folded in half at one time. We could re-fold it for shipping, but it seems a shame to do so, so we will only do so if the new owner requests that we do so. Learn More about condition grades
