Adventures of Dick Cole

Joy and I have been loving all of the comments and reviews you guys have added to the RUSC website, since we added the poll last week.

One of these was from a member called Richard, who reviewed the The Adventures of Dick Cole series:

"Entertaining, along the lines of Jack Armstrong and Jerry at the Circus/Fair Oaks. Hope you can get some additional episodes."

Well, we aim to please! Joy and I have been adding more episodes this week, which will start popping up on the RUSC website in the coming weeks.

If you were wondering, The Adventures of Dick Cole was a 1940s comic book series, created by Bob Davis. It was published by Novelty Press, and later, Star Publications. 

The main character in the series was Dick Cole, a heroic cadet at the fictional Farr Military Academy, who was billed as "America's Number One School Star", with regular stories about the young hero appearing until 1949. He even got his own book with five issues of Dick Cole published.

Despite a short run, 1948-1950, the comics series was popular enough to be adapted into a 30-minute 1942 juvenile adventure radio program that followed the adventures of Dick Cole at the Farr Military Academy. 

When Cole wasn't winning football games, he tracked evildoers with an assist from his Academy pals Simba and Ted. It's a fun series, and is certainly worth listening to an episode or two if you have a spare thirty minutes. 

Thank you again to everyone for taking the time to add reviews - it really brings the site alive, don't you think?

Happy listening my friends,
