A sf radio series during the 1930s that came from the pulps was Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon.  The series debuted in 1935 over the Mutual Broadcasting System starring Gale Gordon as Flash. Like Buck Rogers, the radio series was aimed at a juvenile audience. The stories' plots were black and white and rather simplistic in their dramatizations. Unlike his counterpart, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon was a product of a future society. With the earth doomed for destruction by the planet Mongo, Flash along with his girlfriend Dale Arden unexpectedly travels on a ship controlled by Dr.Zarkov, portrayed by Maurice Franklin (Famous Jury Trials, Mr. District Attorney) who is trying to save his home planet. It is on Mongo that the trio encounters the deadly emperor Ming, voiced by Bruno Wick (The Goldbergs), his daughter Princess Aura and the Hawkmen. Himan Brown, of CBS Radio Mystery and Inner Sanctum fame, produced the series.
