| I presented a seminar on comic book heroes on the radio about 5 years ago at the Newark FOTR Convention. If we can expand the genre of comic books to include the comic pages in the newspaper, here's the list of those from the comic books and "funny papers" that got their own radio programs (in alphabetical order.) |
| Radio Show |

Archie Andrews Blue Beetle Bringing Up Father Buck Rogers Buster Brown Dan Dunn Dick Tracy Don Winslow of the Navy Flash Gordon Gasoline Alley Harold Teen Hop Harrigan Jane Arden Joe Palooka Jungle Jim King of the Royal Mounted Little Orphan Annie Major Hoople Mandrake the Magician Mark Trail Popeye Red Ryder Sad Sack Smilin' Jack Superman Tailspin Tommy Tarzan Terry & The Pirates The Nebbs Tillie the Toiler |
| Captain Midnight was on radio first, then went to the comic book pages. Batman never had his own show, but he and Robin were often on Superman's radio show. Captain Marvel never made it to radio. |
