Date Sold 5/30/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Chapter #11 (Flying to Oblivion) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Hop Harrigan, America's Ace of the Airways, the 1946 Derwin Abrahams airplane aviation fighter pilot action adventure serial ("America's Ace of the Airways"; "Murdering guns blaze with thrills... chills... horror!"; "A Columbia Serial"; "Based upon the cartoon 'Hop Harrigan' appearing in All-American Comics Magazine"; "Created by John Blummer") starring William Bakewell (in the title role as Hop Harrigan), Jennifer Holt, Robert 'Buzz' Henry, Sumner Getchell, and Emmett Vogan. Note that Hop Harrigan started in All-American Comics, as did many classic DC superheroes, including The Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. He was not a true superhero, because he did not have super powers, and he was much like Tailspin Tommy, who preceded him. In 1941, he became a costumed hero, called "The Guardian Angel", but that only lasted four issues, and he returned to his uncostumed self. He never really "caught on" in a big way, but in 1946, Columbia was looking for additional superheroes to make movies out of, and they hit on this character, and made this serial, but it likely was not very successful, because movie paper on it is incredibly rare! If anyone knows more about this serial, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release U.S. paper form this serial is incredibly rare! This is likely because the movie was quickly re-released in 1957, and whatever first release paper was left was likely used at that time. We have only once before auctioned a first release one-sheet from this serial. Note that a knowledgeable collector believes that Glenn Cravath created the art for this item. However, we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone has definitive proof such as signed original art, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair to good. The top 1 1/2" and the bottom 3" of the poster were folded back at one time. There is small paper loss at each crossfold. There is paper loss in the left of the horizontal fold and in the middle right of the poster, with staple holes and some light stains around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
