The Avenger - Old Time Radio
Vintage Radio: Crime-Detective
 The Avenger was a crime drama series broadcast from 1941 to 1942. James Monks, the Avenger and a crime fighter, was a fictional character whose original adventures appeared between 1939 to 1942 in the eponymous pulp magazine published by Street and Smith Publications. Helen Adamson portrayed the Avenger's assistant, Fern Collier, who was the only person that knew the Avenger's true identity. The scripts were written by Walter B. Gibson, who also wrote for The Shadow. Although the style of the series followed the footstep of The Shadow, it did not reach the same popularity and production quality. |

The Avenger's real name is Richard Henry Benson. Benson is a globe-trotting adventurer who had made his millions being a professional adventurer. As a crime fighter of super strength, Benson has two special fighting aids. The "telepathic indicator" allows him to gain random thought flashes while the "secret diffusion capsule" gives him the power of invisibility. The Avenger is often confused with The Avengers, a British radio show broadcast in the 70s. The Avenger is an all American show. |
