I recently acquired an extremely rare May 1921 issue of Boys Cinema that takes The Terror Island Film Script (which I have seen, read and studied at the Margaret Herrick Library) and adapts it to a story paper format.
Boys Cinema was a weekly story paper published by The Amalgamated Press based at Fleetway House in Farringdon Street, London. It ran from December 1919 to May 1940 for a total of 1063 issues. As the title suggests, it was a boys comic centered on the Hollywood and British stars of the silver screen with related features and articles. Each issue consisted of film scripts adapted to a story paper format, sometimes serialized.The films featured were mostly ‘B’ pictures. Covers (as seen above) and throughout the comic showed stills of the films.
In future posts listed below, I plan to take you inside this edition of Boys Cinema and share the Terror Island Story that was adapted from the film script.
