Captain Fathom is an animated television series produced in 1965 by Cambria Studios.^[1] Like Cambria's other productions, Clutch Cargo and Space Angel, it was produced in Synchro-Vox.^[2] 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.^[3]

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.^[4] The pilot wasn't purchased by a network and was never aired.

Plot

Captain Bill Fathom was captain of a submarine called the Argonaut.^[5] He and his crew would have various adventures, similar to those of Clutch Cargo or Jonny Quest.
