Return with us now to the days of thrilling adventure, a boys’ own universe larger than life where men were super, women were damsels and scientists were mad, bad and most probably in league with the Nazis. Inspired by pulp magazine fiction and the cliffhanger movie serials of the Thirties and Forties, the likes of Sky Captain, Flash Gordon and Indiana Jones are here to keep the spirit of old-school derring-do alive. We salute them.
