MYSTERIOUS DOCTOR SATAN

• MYSTERIOUS DOCTOR SATAN - 15 chapter serial by Republic Pictures, 1940. A mad scientist named Dr. Satan plots to steal key pieces of technolgy to enable him to build an army of robots based on his prototype to conquer America. The only one standing in his way is Bob Wayne, who fights Satan as the enigmatic Copperhead.  When this serial was being written, it was intended to be a series that utilized Superman as the main hero. The owners of Superman decided they didn't want to let the studio use the character. Instead of scraping the project altogether, the writers replaced Superman with a character of their own creation, called The Copperhead. One review reads:
  "One of Republic's best serials, and that says a lot. Great cliffhanger endings, top drawer stuntwork from David Sharpe, decent acting, and a really malevolent villain all add up to a great time for all. Also great to see the bad guy get top billing. This is what a serial was all about, folks."
  This is a Mint Nostalgia Merchant original print. All 15 chapters are on eight new 1200' Goldberg reels in cans - $799
