Wish I could help you....I have 15 of the titles and I need Electric Earthquake and Destruction Inc. The only double I have I think is Volcano. Good luck finding them. There was an auction recently on eBay with 10 titles and both of the ones I needed were there but I missed out on it.

Ok thanks Bill

Jim, it sounds like you have a nice collection of Superman cartoons. Are these on low fade stock? If so, what companies released them?

Posted by Bill Phelps (Member # 1431) on November 08, 2017, 05:47 PM:

Well I'll chime in with what I have. I am a big fan of Superman and I love these cartoons. I have one Niles release with good color, most of the other Niles are faded or red. Some are also B&W. I also have some RedFox prints with nice color and one by Canterbury that has good color. I would guess that the good color ones are low fade but I don't know for sure. I have not examined the stock to closely to know. I don't know if any other company put them out or not.

Rich, mine are the Niles which have gone red and 1 red fox wish they were low fade stock.

My copy of Volcano from Canterbury Films (Cine Magnetics lab) is on Eastman and starting to fade to pinkish tones.

No, only Canterbury, Red Fox and Niles - Shorty

Posted by Jim Schrader (Member # 9) on November 12, 2017, 04:46 PM:

is there a reason Niles made a few titles in b/w or was that an option when buying either b/w or color?

I just wanted to provide some data points about my own collection.

The Mechanical Monsters (low fade, unknown distrubitor)
Superman "The Mad Scientist" (faded, Red Fox)
Volcano (faded, Red Fox)
The Bulleteers (faded, Red Fox)

I hope you find the episodes you are looking for Jim.

Jason, are you sure they were from Red Fox? or they are just homed inside Red Fox boxes? Could you check the leader please.

I am afraid they are actually from Niles Films.

Posted by Jason Smith (Member # 5055) on November 12, 2017, 09:36 PM:

Winbert, the three faded films are in Red Fox boxes but I would have to check the leaders to know for sure if they are Red Fox. I'll let you know.

Jim......Secret Agent is on eBay right now, B&W Niles print in OB....I don't now how to post links but a search should find it.

Winbert, one of mine is in a red fox box and says Matinee Memories on the leader.
Bill, thanks for the heads up I will be watching it.
