It should be noted that all of the renditions published are based on the 1966-67 television rendition starring Van Williams and Bruce Lee, but word on the grapevine is that the company may publish a 1930s rendition based on the factoids from the radio program. Fans of the franchise have been asking for stories from the 1930s so their wish may soon be granted.
