Overview

The Avenger is the name of two old-time radio crime dramas in the United States. The first one was broadcast weekly on WHN in New York City, New York, July 18, 1941 – November 3, 1942. The second was syndicated nationally October 25, 1945 – April 18, 1946. It was the first program distributed by WHN Transcription Service, which previously had distributed only commercials. Format 1941–1942 version Richard Henry Benson was "a crime-fighter of super-strength known as the Avenger" who was accompanied by his sidekick, Fergus "Mac" MacMurdie. Benson was described as "one part Shadow and three parts Doc Savage, drawing elements from each in an attempt to recreate the commercial success of those two characters." In August 1941, newsstands in WHN's listening area displayed "large red cardboard posters" that emphasized the connection between the radio program and Street and Smith's magazine, The Avenger.
