Candy Matson was a female detective, created by Monty Masters. She was played on radio by his wife, Natalie Parks, in a total of 80 30 minute episodes. The show aired on NBC out of San Francisco.

Once a model, Matson became a PI to pay the rent on her penthouse apartment. She didn’t use her gun very often, but she sure could fill out a size twelve business suit.

The Blue Beetle

The Blue Beetle aired from May through September, 1940. The radio show was based loosely on a comic book character of the same name. In the radio show, the Blue Beetle was a police officer who realized that the police couldn’t fight crime effectively without assistance. Like Superman, he’d duck into an alcove, and slip into his crime fighting suit.

Part 2 of the Origin comes tomorrow.
