A look at my final entry into radio detectives born out of the pulp magazines. The Shadow was in some ways not a detective as much as a crime fighter (there is a difference), but some of the episodes did bear some aspects where Lamont Cranston did do some detective work to help come to the resolution.

Continuing a look at radio detectives who had their beginnings in the pulps, this week a look at Jack âFlashâ? Casey created by George Harmon Coxe and born from the pages of Black Mask Magazine. Jack Casey came to radio first as âFlashgunâ? Casey, then Casey, Crime Photographer.

This week begins a short series on radio detectives who come from the pulps. This includes pulps such as the early publications like the one on the right and Black Mask Magazine. I'll start with one of the earliest pulp detectives who appeared on radio, Nick Carter. A look at the history of these pulps, some of the early detectives, and an early Nick Carter, Master Detective episode from 1943.
