Captain George's Penny Dreadful

Editor: Peter Harris (1969-82)

The Vast Whizzbang Organization combined the intense film nostalgia of George Henderson and Pete Harris, among others, operating out of Henderson’s Memory Lane bookshop, a comic collectors’ and movie memorabilia haven in Toronto. Harris issued a quarterly magazine, Captain George’s Whizzbang. The weekly newsletter Captain George’s Penny Dreadful (1969-1982) was dedicated to celebrating silent and classic movies. Subscribers reportedly included Stan Lee and Pierre Berton.
