Reading Room "Heritage of the Titanic"

Who says comics aren't educational?

Bet you didn't know that!

Interestingly, there is speculation that this "fact" was just a piece of made-up publicity by Sarnoff himself.

(He was working at the telegraph station during that period, but may have been the supervisor for the actual telegraph operator.

Records on who-did-what are non-existent, so it's just anecdotal info.)

Regrettably, the writer and artist of this informative piece are unknown.

This one-page feature originally-published in the Ziff-Davis one-shot Captain Fleet (1952) was reprinted twice, in High Adventure #1 (1957) and Top Adventure Comics #1 (1958)

Mike Wallace (1918-2012) & The Green Hornet

Did you know 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace began on radio as the announcer for...

In 1941, a young announcer named Myron Wallace was working on a number of programs at WXYZ in Detroit, including handling narration on several live shows including The Green Hornet, as heard in this episode "Murder Across the Boards" from 7/5/41. (click HERE or the title to open and listen to the complete episode!)

Oddly, while the actors aren't identified on-air, the announcer (Wallace) is!

BTW, though it's believed Wallace also did occasional announcing duties on the Hornet's grand-uncle's show, The Lone Ranger, he never did!

Did Britt Reid's thrilling exploits inspire Mike Wallace to become a hard-hitting reporter?

The answers are in the ether...

Happy Easter!
