Arkadin Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 To this day I get a kick whenever I spot a comic book featured in an old movie or TV show. Saw "The Good Humor Man" (1950) the other day. It features Jack Carson, a club of Captain Marvel-obsessed kids, and some "ahead of it's time" product placement from Fawcett! Here's what the well-dressed Big Red Cheese fan was wearing back in the day. Naturally there's a Captain Marvel comic book too in several scenes - but is this an actual issue, or a prop?

Here's what the well-dressed Big Red Cheese fan was wearing back in the day. I thought the kid looked like Robbie's friend from "The Invisible Boy" but I think the age difference may be too great. Anyway, I posted someone's photo of the robot. Edited December 19, 2013 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I couldn't find it either but I thought the comic needed to be posted here. Thanks for posting the comic, BB. I noticed that the credits for the movie list Roy Huggins as the writer of the original Good Humor Man story that appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. I'm familiar with Huggins because he is the creator of the 77 Sunset Strip TV show which I've been watching lately. Wikipedia notes that while working for Warner Brothers as a producer Huggins also created the Maverick and Fugitive TV programs. In 1963, Huggins took a job as a vice president in the television division at Universal, where he spent the next 18 years. At Universal, he co-created The Rockford Files and produced The Virginian, Alias Smith and Jones and Baretta, among other series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure seems weird if it was a prop since it has the logo and the whole Captain Marvel club promotes the character, unless maybe Fawcett didn't want any single issue to be promoted over the others? Pretty cool that George Reeves was in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
