“High adventure in the wild, vast reaches of space! Missions of daring in the name of interplanetary justice! Travel into the future with Buzz Corry, commander-in-chief of the Space Patrol!”

 

Space Patrol included tropes and traits borrowed from other genres, like the western or the police procedural, albeit loosely, but also it had an advantage, shared by other science fiction shows. Instead of happening just down the street in a big city or on the already well worn trails of the Wild West, Space Patrol offered a brand new world, actually an entire universe to protect and provided heroes strong enough and villains dastardly enough to entertain kids every week.

 

Set in the Thirtieth Century, Space Patrol recounted the exploits of a police organization tasked to protect the United Planets, including Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and of course Earth. Led by Buzz Corry, a hero voiced by Ed Kemmer and definitely cast in the strong, strapping adventurous good guy mold, the Patrol also consisted of a stalwart crew. Buzz’s right-hand Cadet Happy, played by Lyn Osborn, followed his leader into battle, often signaling trouble was ahead with his catch phrase ‘Smokin’ Rockets!’ Ken Mayer played the brawn of the crew as Major ‘Robbie’ Robertson, the Patrol’s security chief, and Carol Karlyle, voiced by Virginia Hewitt, found her way into various adventures as the daughter of the Secretary General of the United Planets.

 

If evidence were needed of just how successful the Space Patrol proved in its duties, the show provided it in Tonga, a villainous character portrayed by Nina Bara. Originally evil and greedy, Tonga proved so popular with listeners that she eventually reformed and became a near member of the Space Patrol, fighting on the side of right until the show’s end.

 

Save the universe with Buzz Corry and his valiant crew in twelve episodes of science fiction action and adventure on Space Patrol Volume 4, restored to sparkling audio quality by Radio Archives!

As the magazine title promised, each issue of this pulp contained two complete and unedited detective novels. Fiction House publishers, through their Real Adventures Publishing imprint, bought up the reprint rights to detective books that had already seen publication in hardback book form, a practice which allowed them to obtain the previously-printed books much cheaper. Radio's famous "Mr. and Mrs. North" detective series began as a series of print books, six of which appeared in the Two Complete Detective Books magazine. The first of Two Complete Detective Books was released in the Winter 1939 issue. Two complete books for a quarter was quite a bargain, and the magazine was popular with customers. It lasted for 76 issue, and printed the final magazine in its run with the Spring 1954 issue. Two Complete Detective Books returns in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
