The Adventures Continue is a couple things. It is a magazine like no other. Focusing solely on George Reeves, it has uncovered and published information that other magazines would find too trivial, thinking the information would not appeal to a wide audience. There, then, is the difference between other magazines and The Adventures Continue. TAC is not interested in appealing to a wide audience, it is interested in appealing to a devoted audience, an audience devoted to George Reeves and the Adventures of Superman.

The Adventures Continue is also a web site. On its pages can be shared more timely information. The Internet also provides for more immediate exchange of ideas. Recently, it provided an excellent way to raise and track the funds needed for the Variety project just completed.

The common thread, however, is information. The Adventures Continue is not necessarily an entertainment site. Although you may be entertained by the information, you'll not find "glitz," gossip, or wild speculation. If you have information about George Reeves to share, please feel free to write, and if it's accurate, you'll find it soon in or on the pages of The Adventures Continue.

Recently I obtained a photo of the cast and crew of the Adventures of Superman. The only information I have is that it was taken around 1953. With Jack Larson's help I've been able to identify some of the people in it. (The photo shown below is reduced by 25%. If you'd like the full version, I'll be happy to send it to you via e-mail.)
