February 19, 2005: Deseret News Reports on Jerry Newingham's Superman Serials
The DeseretNews.com website has written an article all about the Superman Homepage "World's Finest" Serials created by Jerry Newingham. Here's an excerpt from the article...
- Saturday-afternoon cartoon serials are alive and well, sort of. They're on the Internet in 2005 - and they're free!
In the 1930s and '40s, a short cartoon or live-action series commonly played before a Saturday-afternoon movie in theaters. Besides Superman, there was Batman, Tarzan, the Phantom, Flash Gordon and others. Each installment - until the finale - ended in a cliffhanger.
Today, Superman/Batman fan Jerry Newingham, 53, of Earle, Ark., has revived the Saturday-afternoon serial with two new homemade but professional-looking comic book stories about the Man of Steel.
Using the Superman Homepage website at www.supermanhomepage.com, Newingham has created two Superman/Batman series, a 17-chapter "World's Finest" in 2003, and, straddling 2004 and 2005, "Destiny's Choice," a 33-part series that is winding down.
