Sketchin’ 106

It’s been, needless to say, a very long month.

Feels like my head has been alternately in the clouds and under the ground.

Time does heal and the pain and confusion are less… though my days seem to be filled with so much to do.

I did manage to carve out a little time to revisit one of my nostalgic favorites. Hope you enjoy it!

Buster Crabbe, the king of the serials and the first man to play both Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers!

Sketchin’ 69, 70, and 71

Been away for a few days and…

…I’m back!

And I bring you a trio of serial adventure goodies!

First up, my interpretation of Batman and Robin, from the 1949 Serial!

But wait, there’s more!

In 1944, the Captain America serial was released.  15 cliffhanging episodes, to boot!

Finally, while on this adventure serial tangent, one has to pay tribute to the man who was THE biggest star of the serials: Buster Crabbe, and the character he was most associated with: Flash Gordon.  While I’ve already made a Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon piece, it wasn’t in color so, here goes:

Flash Gordon, from Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe, featuring Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon and Carol Hughes as Dale Arden.
