Marvel's CAPTAIN AMERICA movie serials from 1944 are now available on DVD in the UK
The 1944 Captain America movie serials are now available on UK PAL DVD. The serials are split onto three dvds. I'm assuming that's the complete series.

I guess that this was the first Marvel live-action superhero movies!
EDIT: they are available on USA NTSC DVD as well - I had no idea that these were public domain.

FYI, the Captain Marvel serial was the DC Comics Captain Marvel, aka Shazam.

I imagine this is going to be released in the US when the Captain America film gets released.

I'd rather see the 1990 movie get a nice edition, but that won't happen....

I'm sure Marvel wants to bury the 1990 film (well, who are we kidding, it basically already is).
The serials are a nice find, thanks for the notice!

The Amazon reviews on the serial release has been pretty negative quality-wise.

Some Rebulic serials not all the chapters still exists. You can get them but 4-5 chapters will be missing.
Two(that I know of) don't exist all at anymore. The two Lone Ranger. The company that made the Lone Ranger tv series with Clayton Moore paid Rebublic to destroy all prints, not wanting a competing image of the character out there. You can get them but the source is usually from a Mexican print with spanish subtitles.

That sounds a bit ironic in that Clayton Moore was on the receiving end of that treatment when they made that Legend of the Lone Ranger movie and they forbid him from wearing the mask in public appearances.
