5/31

1943 - A comic strip came to radio as "The Adventures of Archie
Andrews". It was heard on the NBC Blue network. Archie, Veronica and the

based on Bob Montana's comic strip about Archie Andrews and his teen-age
pals.

1949 - A crowd of 35,000 people paid tribute to radio personality Mary

Cecil B. DeMille, the program's host on the NBC Blue network, introduced
Clark Gable and Marlene Dietrich in The Legionnaire and the Lady.

1938 - The first issue of "Action Comics" was published. In its pages
was the world's first super hero, Superman. Jerry Siegel had a dream
about the baby, Moses, who was abandoned by his parents in order that
his life be saved. This dream prompted Siegel's creation of the "Man of
Steel". Artist Joe Shuster made the comic book hero come alive. The
first story, in this first issue, took place on the planet, Krypton,
where baby Kal-El was born. The infant was shot to Earth in a rocket

Broadcasting System. Witherall was a detective who looked just like
