They are stories of heroism, strength and of courage. Stories in which one person can stand up against the darkness that surrounds us, and say with total conviction and self-belief; that they are the ‘light’. We see pages full of colour and life, in which kinetic action moves across the panels. Dancing in front of our eyes, filling our imagination with endless possibilities…

Comics are a way of life for so many people, but do we truly understand their power?

And if that power was ever unleashed, what would we create?

A superhero, or perhaps…a monster?

Re-Imagined Radio celebrates Johnny Dollar, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, the man with the action-packed expense account, by sampling from "The McCormick Matter" episode starring Bob Bailey, considered the best of the eight Johnny Dollar actors during the series' fourteen-year run on CBS.

Significance

With Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, especially 1955 to 1956 when Bailey voiced the leading character, CBS resisted the encroachment of television and kept radio drama flourishing a few more years. Today, the series, and especially Bailey's portrayal, are considered one of the best detective series heard on radio.

Re-Imagined Radio samples two episodes of Escape, "Present Tense" and "Three Skeleton Key," both starring Vincent Price, to celebrate radio's greatest series of high adventure storytelling and an unforgettable voice actor.

Frequently cited as the finest radio adventure series ever, Escape is significant for providing listeners a variety of literary experiences drawn from adventure classics and contemporary original scripts.

Vincent Price (1911–1993) is legendary for his stage, television, motion picture, and radio appearances. In radio, he is noted for voicing Simon Templar in The Saint, 1947 to 1951, and the two episodes of Escape featured here, "Present Tense" and "Three Skeleton Key." It's also interesting to note that Price provided a chilling voice over for singer/song writer Michael Jackson's 1993 "Thriller."

Together, these two episodes of Escape and Vincent Price provide outstanding radio storytelling. Thanks for joining us as Re-Imagined Radio presents "Escape: A double adventure."

We move around a Taxidermist’s candlelit workshop. It is full of dark, dusty objects cluttering every nook and cranny. Stuffed animals, piles of bones, amphibians pickled in formaldehyde; all tools of the trade, all laid out ready for use. We then reach Mr Stuffit, huddled up by the fireplace alongside his daughter Jocasta; who is a stunning thing of great beauty. Nineteen and never been kissed, but if eerie Gothicness was ever made an Olympic sport, with her tatty Victorian clothing, wild black hair, alabaster complexion and antique Caliper strapped around her leg, then Jocasta would already be on the podium.
