Captain Fathom

1

Captain Fathom is an animated television series produced in 1965 by Cambria Studios. Like Cambria's other productions, Clutch Cargo and Space Angel, it was produced in Synchro-Vox. At least 26 30-minute episodes, all in color, were filmed. The episodes could be broken down into five 5-minute segments in cliffhanger format. Renowned comic book artist Alex Toth was the director. This animated series was broadcast in Italy in syndication in the early 1980s under two different titles: Avventure negli abissi (that means in English Adventures in the Abyss) and Captain Fathom. This was the last Cambria Studios cartoon show to use the Syncro-Vox. An attempt at airing a live-action version of Captain Fathom was done in 1955 starring Don Megowan, Richard H. Cutting, and Barbara Wilson. The pilot wasn't purchased by a network and was never aired.

Plot

Captain Bill Fathom was captain of a submarine called the Argonaut. He and his crew would have various adventures, similar to those of Clutch Cargo or Jonny Quest.
