I hear it again and again from readers of The Adventures Continue. "For so many years I thought I was the only one who loved George Reeves and the Adventures of Superman. Now I know that wasn't the case, but it took a long time to learn it." Of course, the reason each of us thought he was the only one was because up until 1976 not much was written about George and the series. I can remember going to book stores and searching through the shelves devoted to television, only to come away depressed because there were no books on George. Then came Gary Grossman's Superman: Serial to Cereal, followed by magazine articles, The Adventures Continue, television segments, and the Internet. The store room door was open... and we were finally allowed to see in and to learn.

While it is now known this event never really happened and that it was George who fabricated this story to dissuade promoters from asking him to wear the Superman costume. But truth be told, children did indeed throw rock's at George and kick him in the shins to test his invulnerability. Article also mentions his friendship with Fess Parker. (LK) *

In the late 1950's (I don't have the exact date) DC prepared a bio of Noel Neill to run in Lois Lane comics and one of Jack Larson to run in Jimmy Olsen comics. They reprinted the Lois one several times, spotlighting it on the cover of Lois Lane Annual #2. Each had a drawing of the star above a text. Again, I don't know the exact debut or issues these ran in. I know the Lois one ran at least three times. (MC)

October 1960: TOP SECRET. Helen continues her investigation with the Cincinati Morgue regarding the death of George Reeves. (LK) *

June 1962: Screen Thrills Illustrated: Issue 1 Part one of The Saga of Superman. 8 pages, One pic of George with the Mole Men, one with George and Noel from the levitation episode, and one still of Rockwell and Towne as Jor-El and Lara. The end of the article promises part 2 in the next issue will have news on the upcoming SUPERBOY TV series. (MC)

September 1962: Screen Thrills Illustrated: Issue 2 Part two of The Sage of Superman. No mention of the Superboy series, but this is the most "Reeves heavy" one of the articles concentrating on the television series rather than the serials. Six photos of George, including three full page ones (two from Mole-Men, one with him lifting Art Weissman, two of him swooping in a window, one of him as Clark with Jack from "The Haunted Lighthouse"). The article itself focuses on the television series and special effects and storylines. (MC)

Early 1963 or late 1962: Screen Thrills Illustrated: Issue 3. Focuses on the Fleischer cartoons, and general matters. This was the first issue I saw as a kid and learned someone else other than George also played Superman on film. Only time I saw Kirk as Superman until I met him in 1981. (MC)

June 6, 1965: Sunday NEW YORK NEWS. Superman is Still Super. Article featuring Noel Neill.(LK) *

May 1966: TV Radio-Mirror. The Superman Jinx by Robert E Johnson. Three pages, lots of mid 1960's interview material with Noel, Jack and Phyllis. One picture of George (nice!), one of Phyllis, two of Jack, and one of Noel in a swimsuit. (MC)

C. 1966-67: Monsters and Heroes magazine, issue 2. The Three Faces of Superman. c. Seven page article, photos from TAOS on page 6, one of Reeves flying, one of Planet cast. Also has 2 pictures of John Rockwell as SUPERBOY on page 7, the first ones I believe published from the show. (MC)

October 1966, Warren published On The Scene Presents Superheroes. This magazine reprinted several of the superhero film articles from previous SCI issues. There's a colorized picture of Kirk on the cover, and the Superman article inside is reprinted from SCI 1 with a couple of extra stills. No new ones of George though. The only all new material in the magazine is an article on the BATMAN feature film. I believe this is the easiest found of the Warren issues. Other than this issue, Superman (by Kirk or George) appears on no covers. (MC)

1974: Serial World magazine # 3 All about...Superman In The Serials by Eric Hoffman... here's a small tid bit: Invariably Kirk will be asked if he knew George Reeves and what he thought of his interpretation of Superman. Yes, I knew George. In fact, we had the same agent, Gus Dembling. George was a nice guy and did a good job as Superman. I remember when the series was big on TV, he was on strike for more money. I think he found out what kind of a problem being identified with the Superman character could be. I got a call from the people making the show and they told me about the situation and what George was holding out for. I told them to pay him....he deserved whatever he wanted. Thanks to Richard Taylor for finding this.

February 15, 1975: TV Guide Two page article focuses on Feb 21 ABC special adaptation of It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman. One large illustration from early comic, one inset from Filmation cartoons, one black and white of Kirk Alyn, one large color one of David Wilson (who played lead in ABC production and one GOOD COLOR of George. (MC)

January 1976: Infinity, issue six. Tele-Fantasy Convention: Meet Noel Neill T.V.'s Lois Lane. Photos include Noel on stage and meeting her fans. Look for a very young Danny Fuchs. (LK)

April 1976: Superman: Serial to Cereal by Gary Grossman. Brings for the first time an in depth look at both on screen Superman portrayed by Kirk Alyn for movie serials and George Reeves on television. The book that started it all. Can be purchased here. (LK)

1977: Fantastic Television - A trade-type paperback by Gary Gerani with Paul H. Schulman copyright 1977 by Harmony Books. The bulk of the book has chapters dedicated each to series such as Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, The Invaders, and Star Trek. Chapter One covers the Adventures of Superman. There are six pages of heavily illustrated commentary, and then a full listing of episodes with mini-synopses which look similar to the ones in Serial to Cereal. There are one or maybe two photos that may be new to me: a long shot of Jor-el before the ruling council, and frozen Superman staggering through a hole in the wall in The Big Freeze. George also appears on the cover in a series of nine television screens ala Brady Bunch, with Superman in the middle, one of those familiar straight ahead shots with his hands on his hips. (MC) (LK)

June 1978: Fantastic Films No. 2. "Men Of Steel Vs. The Cathode Ray." A look at the 50's TV show and the serials.

Most of this issue focuses on Superman and his history on film. The cover is a painting of Supermen Christopher Reeve, Kirk Alyn, and George Reeves. Inside there is a detachable version of the cover with an added detail of George Reeves and Phyllis Coates. The articles focus on the upcoming new movie with Christopher Reeve. However, for George Reeves fans, there are some added bonuses.

Irv Katchmar contributes an article entitled THE MAN OF STEEL VS THE CATHODE RAY on the psychological effect playing Superman may have had on George Reeves. Rather insightful but short, with 4 pictures on 2 pages. The author had a fine appreciation of Reeves' talents and how good he really was, but the conclusion seems forced.

Unfortunately, aside from pictures, that is all the magazine contributes to your knowledge of the TV series. But there are many pictures of Reeves and the series throughout, including many reproductions of the Topps cards, and stills from Superpup and Superboy. There's an excellent interview with Kirk Alyn, as well as one on the Paramount cartoons, and a scientific explanation on "The Powers of Kal-El" illustrated by the Topps cards. A book to buy if you don't have a set of the cards. (MC) (LK)

Paul would rally years later in TAC No. 6, explaining away his error. (LK)

February 1984: Amazing Heroes #41. All Our Superman. Looks at Kirk Alyn, George Reeves and Christopher Reeve. (LK)

1984: Hollywood Hearbreak, by Laurie Jacobson, mass market trade paperback, with Marilyn Monroe on the cover. This book is rather morbid and discusses deaths of Hollywood stars from the 20's to the present day (1980's). "George Reeves" Who's Speeding Bullet?" It has quotes from Gig Young and Alan Ladd on his "suicide" I have read nowhere else. There's also information about his death (and apparently his foreknowledge of an attempt on his life) again, that I have read nowhere else. The article is complimentary to Reeves, as opposed to many others. However, the ending, with the old "haunted house" story has a new twist: the ghost of George Reeves pointing a gun at visitors.

It mentiones George planned to shock guest into believing he shot himself, playing "his bullet-proof Superman."  (Personally, this is rediculas to think George did not know the gun could ever be loaded with a live round, since two other bullet holes were found in the bedroom floor. In Leonore's statement to Chief Parker of LAPD during a long distance phone call to NY, she admitted to have fired the gun and made one of those holes in the floor a week prior June 16th, as reported in the newspapers at the time. The other bullet hole was never accounted for.) (LK)

April 2003:Biography magazine. "Where Are They Now?" Well, we've always known the whereabouts of Mr. Jack Larson. And now subscribers with a passing interest and a fondness for the Adventures of Superman know that Mr. Larson aka Jimmy Olsen, is an accomplished playwright and librettist. Mr. Larson is working on his memoirs, although it is progressing slowly. "I haven't even gotten to the Superman years yet," Mr. Larson is quoted. Having the honor and privilege to be in the company of Mr. Larson several times, I can tell you he is a wealth of Hollywood stories. So I very much look forward to the day we can finally get to read his book. (LK)

October 2004: Comic Book Marketplace magazine: No. 116. Bob Maxwell. Writer Will Murray provides an informative article about Mr. Robert Maxwell and his career before, during and after the Superman Radio / TV years. It would have been great if this could have been more than four pages. Just the same, a great article with a surprise to me where Bob Maxwell honed his writing skills prior to his Superman work. One interesting way to describe Mazwell's approach to Superman comes from this article. Maxwell believed in violence, uncompromising heroes and vicious sadistic bad guys. I think that describes the 1951 season pretty well. Interesting to note, in the following issue (no. 117) Will Murray returns with a letter to the editor giving detail to Robert Maxwell being no stranger to intolerance, as we know from his Superman and the Mole-Men script written with Whitney Ellsworth under the name of Richard Fielding. Through the Superman radio show Mr. Maxwell caused a stir with the KKK by continuous mentioning of code words on the radio show. As a result, the leader of the KKK vented spite on Kellogg's Pep with attempts to stop local seller from carrying the cereal product. Kellogg's stood its ground and refused to be intimidated. (LK)

June 2005: Wizard magazine, Mega Movie Issue. Article by writer Christopher Lawrence titled The Death of Superman. The article retells the mysterious events surrounding the death of George Reeves. For many of us it rings familiar as most of the information is gathered from Jan Alan Hendserson's Speeding Bullet and other sources. Mr. Lawrence spent six months educating himself on this subject and brought a fresh style of writing, which carefully weaves the various elements of this tragic case together. Most important, George's story is reaching a new audience through a very stylized WIZARD publication. Also nice to see Mr. Lawrence included the charity work of Mr. George Reeves. I suspect that is primarily due to our PR guy, Jim Nolt, who is quoted throughout the article. Article is 10 pages, includes a number of photos, two supplied but not credited by Lou Koza. (LK)

November 2006: The George Reeves The Adventures of Superman Companion Book by Peter Murano of Texas. This is an incredible look at the show only a true fan could express and readers to fully appreciate. Outstanding detail of episodes, the first to explore character guest star credits beyond just name regonition. Includes memorable lines, flying sequences, secret identity alerts, cars, apartments, assignments and much more. This book was in the works long before Warners started releasing the Adventures of Superman on DVD and with the release of both the book and the DVD's, the timing could not have been any better for Peter. Interesting to note is the Radio show style CD provided as a bonus with each book sold. Peter and his wife Elsa are a wonderful combo, giving insight and interesting facts about the series music scores and cues. My personal favorite was listening to the magnificent and energetic cues from The Golden Vulture. Listen for Peter's dead on impersonation of Peter Whitney's Captain McBain. Book also boast another marvelous illustration by Randy Garrett. You'll not want to put this book down. You'll have it by your side while watching all your episodes. You'll take it everywhere. You'll keep it on your night table while asleep. You'll love it. (LK)
