Doc Savage Magazine That Wasn't

Doc Savage: “The Sasquatch Terror” by Tom Johnson. In August, 1944, a young Canadian woman comes to New York to enlist the help of Doc and his crew in finding her missing father. It seems a legendary Sasquatch is terrorizing the Canadian woods, and it was seen in the area where her father mysteriously disappeared. Doc, Monk and Ham fly into Canada to discover a mystery plot, and high adventure.

This was originally written when rumors circulated that Moonstone might be publishing an anthology of Doc Savage short stories. But that was only a rumor, and it never came about. With no chance of the story ever being published, it remained strictly fan fiction. The late David Burton and I talked about the story, and what fun it would be to have a new magazine in the pulp tradition featuring Doc Savage. Our Fading Shadows magazines were publishing new pulp stories since 1995, and there are numerous Doc pastiches around – even a few fan fiction novels featuring the Bronze Man. David worked up a mock cover for a fictitious new magazine, which would feature Doc Savage in new short stories. It was a lot of fun, but had no real possibilities of ever being a reality. I thought it would be nice to at least share David’s proposed cover for the fans.

Columbia Workshop

Volume 3

 

 

Conceived originally as a program to push the boundaries of network radio, Columbia Workshop became a stage for innovation in production, but also a voice for writers and actors, a voice that America listened to and can now be heard on Columbia Workshop, Volume 3 from Radio Archives.

Although it debuted in 1936, Columbia Workshop found its true stride in 1937 both as an innovator in radio production, but also in the quality of work it was producing. Overcoming a belief that production was more important than the play, Columbia Workshop began focusing on turning quality scripts into quality episodes. Being a CBS show, the program definitely had access to directors and writers to do just that.

In 1937, Columbia Workshop presented The Fall of the City by Archibald MacLeish. Both the extremely intricate production of this program as well as its message rung true with listeners and proved that radio drama could indeed be effective and brought something different than its stage and film counterparts. From this point forward, Columbia Workshop became a platform for socially conscious productions and led to the success of one of radio’s greatest writers, Norman Corwin.

CBS received over 7,000 plays a year while Columbia Workshop was in production. This meant that nearly every director at least once was involved with this program, contributing to the innovations as well as the groundbreaking plays that were featured every week. Columbia Workshop, Volume 3 from Radio Archives collects classic episodes of this truly historic program and is now available in Sparkling audio quality! 7 hours. $10.49 Download / $20.98 Audio CDs

Calling All Cars

Volume 1

 

 

“Crime does not pay...” 

 Rio Grande Gasoline featured “Calling All Cars” prominently in their many promotional materials.Those four simple words sum up the basic philosophy behind “Calling All Cars”, a popular crime drama heard over CBS Pacific Network stations from November 29, 1933 to September 8, 1939. In these dramatizations, the point was driven home time and time again that a life of a crime was a life wasted -- and anyone venturing off the straight-and-narrow was fated to meet a sad and sorry end. 

 

Radio, too, played a part in stemming the tide against crime - and never more so than in “Calling All Cars”, one of the earliest and most durable police procedural shows. Dramatizing true crime exploits, and introduced by real-life law enforcement officials, “Calling All Cars” offered listeners the gritty details of criminal activities in true “ripped from the headlines” style. Led by writer/director William N. Robson - later to become the well-respected director of such series as “Big Town”, “The Man Behind the Gun”, and “Escape” - “Cars” offered listeners the audio equivalent of a Warner Brothers crime drama, complete with driving musical themes, car chases, low-life gunmen, high-crime bosses, gum-chewing molls, frightened victims, and criminal cases that often hit close to home, particularly if you lived in Los Angeles where the series was produced. Kidnappings, petty thefts, prison breaks, bunco schemes...all were raw materials for the creators of each show and details of all these crimes and more were used as the basis for the realistic dramas being presented. 

 

The narrator of the program was Charles Frederick Lindsley, a speech professor and radio announcer whose precise diction and enunciation put the real-life professionals appearing on the show to shame; the only other regular heard each week was real-life L.A.P.D. dispatcher Jesse Rosenquist, whose unique voice and name became the show’s trademark, contributing to the American lexicon both the program’s title and the now time-honored phrase “that is all”, ensuring his stay for the show’s entire run. Like many radio programs of the period, none of the other actors on the series ever received on-air credit, but sharp-eared radio fans can hear the likes of Elvia Allman, Charles Bickford, Gale Gordon, John Gibson, Richard LeGrand and Hanley Stafford, to name just a few. 

 

Radio enthusiasts might also notice that “Calling All Cars” acted as sort of a blueprint for a later police procedural series that emphasized the painstaking work and day-to-day detail involved in tracking down the criminal element, that program being none other than the celebrated “Dragnet”, which was brought to audiences by actor-producer Jack Webb in June 1949. “Cars” even has a jaunty opening theme reminiscent of Walter Schumann’s “Dragnet March.” 

 

The program’s long-time sponsor was the Rio Grande Oil Company and, in fact, the show itself ran only in those areas where their patented brand of “cracked” gasoline and “Pennsylvania” lube was sold. Because the program was also sent via transcription to Southwestern markets served by Rio Grande but beyond the reach of CBS’ West Coast stations, a whopping 299 of the 302 programs that were originally broadcast have more or less survived the ravages of time and are extant today - including the twenty half-hour episodes in this collection, newly restored and remastered from the original transcription recordings by Radio Archives. 10 hours. Regular Price $29.98 - Specially priced until September 25 for $7.49 Download / $14.99 Audio CDs

 

 

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #56

The Green Lama #5 Audiobook

The Case of the Mad Maji & The Case of the Vanishing Ships

by Kendell Foster Crossen writing as Richard Foster

Read by James C. Lewis. Liner Notes by Will Murray

 

 

For our fifth Green Lama audiobook, we continue with our chronological readings from his classified casebook. As it happens, two of his most mystifying adventures have come around to make this a strangely satisfying listening experience. 

The Case of the Mad Magi was first printed in the February, 1941 issue of Munsey’s Double Detective pulp magazine. Here, author Kendell Foster Crossen exploits one of his personal areas of expertise, the exciting world of the progressional magician. These were the halcyon days of Blackstone and Dunninger. Crossen was himself an amateur magician and close friends with several like-minded others, including Walter B. Gibson and Clayton Rawson, creators of The Shadow and The Scarlet Wizard, respectively, both of whom are mentioned in this superb story.

Here, The Green Lama pits his wits against an unknown magician of crime, backed up by his ever-shifting team of ordinary citizens plucked from all walks of life to assist in his investigations. What results is a riveting expose of the magical life, filled with behind-the-scenes secrets, but also packed with high drama.

In past cases, Jethro Dumont, the daring American who journeyed to Tibet only to return to the U. S. as a Buddhist priest dedicated to eradicating evil and suffering––not necessarily in that order––found himself in Hollywood, delving into crimes among the stars of the Silver Screen. Here, in The Case of the Vanishing Ships Lieutenant Caraway summons him to a different Hollywood to investigate a rash of passenger liners which are going missing off the Florida coast. Vanished without any trace of passengers, crew or even floating wreckage. Is this the work of Axis U-boats, Caribbean pirates, savage criminals––or something even more malevolent? Ken Crossen brings to bear his deep knowledge of magical misdirection to pull off a plot as audacious as a stage illusionist making a full-grown elephant vanish!

Follow the Green Lama as he pursues the bewildering clues to a shocking revelation.

This astonishing audiobook is read by James C. Lewis, who essays the triple role of Jethro Dumont and his jade-colored aliases, Reverend Dr. Pali and The Green Lama....Om Mani Padme Hum! The Green Lama Knows! 6 hours $11.99 Download / $23.98 Audio CDs

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #57

The Spider #15 Audiobook

The Red Death Rain

by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge

Read by Nick Santa Maria. Liner Notes by Will Murray

 

 

During the difficult decade encompassed by the years 1933-43, a commanding figure blazed his way through a legion of Depression-era supercriminals, Nazi spies and saboteurs. He was wealthy criminologist Richard Wentworth. He was also secretly The Spider!

Never before or since has there been a hero like him. Driven, hunted, and violently committed to exterminating criminals of all calibers. A self-appointed savior of humanity, driven manic-depressive, and possibly undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, The Spider was known as the Master of Men.

For this latest release in our Will Murray Pulp Classics series of audiobooks, we asked our customers to pick their favorite Spider novel for recording. Many stories were nominated, but none outpolled any other. We did discover that most of you wanted to hear brought to life one of Norvell Page’s epic tales pitting the Master of Men against a villain in the vein of Fu Manchu, Dr. Yen Sin or Marvel Comics’ the Mandarin.

So we selected The Red Death Rain, the first of these white-hot face offs, wherein a malevolent mastermind has poisoned all of the liquor, cigarettes and coffee available to Manhattan. His name: The Red Mandarin. It’s well known that Marvel Comics’ writer Stan Lee was a faithful follower of The Spider magazine during his Depression youth. Could Lee have been thinking of this story when he created the Iron Man villain known as the Mandarin? You decide.

First printed in the December, 1934 issue of The Spider, The Red Death Rain is a thrill ride from start to finish, and boasts the most electrifying final scene in any of Page’s thrilling works. Many consider it the most unforgettable novel of the entire series.

Once more, Nick Santa Maria brings the action to vibrant life, narrating with a fever-pitch intensity worthy of the bloody pulps. Also included is an exciting short story by Arthur Leo Zagat, “Doc Turner’s Murder Mask,” read by Roy Worley. 6 hours $11.99 Download / $23.98 Audio CDs

Sunglasses After Dark Audiobook

by Nancy A. Collins

Read by Melodee M. Spevack

 

 

Sunglasses After Dark, by award-winning author Nancy A. Collins, tells the story of Sonja Blue, a punk female vampire searching for the man who made her one of the undead, and her battle to overcome her very real inner demon in time to rescue an innocent man from the clutches of an unholy faith healer.

 

While in London, American heiress Denise Thorne disappears from a nightclub, never to be seen again. On that very same night Sonja Blue, a tough-as-nails vampire hunter-slayer, conceived in terror and born of blood, rises from the city's gutters. Saved by modern medicine before she completed her transformation into one of the undead, she becomes a living vampire, determined to fight for what remains of her humanity.

 

Sonja Blue travels the globe, hunting down and disposing of the shadowy creatures that prey on the innocent while searching for the vampire who created her. But as dangerous as hunting vampires may be, it's nothing compared to the threat posed by The Other, the demonic personality Sonja is locked in constant battle with for control of their shared body.

 

Acknowledged as one of the first Urban Fantasy novels, Sunglasses After Dark has garnered wide-spread critical praise and won the Horror Writers Association's coveted Bram Stoker Award, as well as the British Fantasy Society's Icarus Award.

 

Out of print for several years, the Radio Archives edition of Sunglasses After Dark uses the new edition of this novel, which has been extensively revised and edited by the author. It is considered to be the preferred text. 9 hours $17.99 Download / $35.98 Audio CDs

Dime Mystery Magazine Henry Treat Sperry
In 1934 a new type of magazine was born. Known by various names — the shudder pulps, mystery-terror magazines, horror-terror magazines — weird menace is the sub-genre term that has survived today. Dime Mystery Magazine was one of the most popular. It came from Popular Publications, whose publisher Harry Steeger was inspired by the Grand Guignol theater of Paris.

After nineteen issues, just over a year and a half after its debut, the magazine began to feature the air adventures of Dusty Ayres, and the magazine became officially titled Dusty Ayres and his Battle Birds.

It has been always easy to see that this has been much more than a simple job for you but, frankly I had no idea it was so involved. Half the fun of your website is reading about and listening to programs that I had no idea even existed. Jerry of Fair Oaks is a great example and don't even get me started on Fort Larame or Lower Basin Street.

 

I realize that OTR restoration is your main love but I gotta tell you that I am so glad that you are producting these pulp audio books. I just spent a very enjoyable hour of exercising with disc 2 of Captain Satan. I'm holding off on Flight Into Fear because after two chapters I wanted to save it for a while. It's that good. All of the pulp audio books have been top notch.
