The Phantom and The Shadow are a couple of my favourites, Doc Savage and Buck Rogers are good as well.

There are so many. I actually became a Flash Gordon fan when I was older and partly through Al Williamson's fan art in Witzend which opened my eyes to what was going on. As a big science fiction fan I was always a huge Lensmen and Skylark fan. Would Little Orphan Annie count? A comic strip and decent radio series, but that bizarre comic strip matched moody drawings with meditation on the "action" straight out of Ayn Rand until Harold Gray died in '68 (when I was 13). Even as a kid I cherished that. Doc Savage of course. I'm highest on George Tuska's Buck Rogers, which was late fifties early sixties, but I of course read Nowlan's original stories.
Lately I've been listening to MP3's of Chandu the Magician. That was a way cool show.
I'm pushing this old computer too hard to spend resources on checking the links, but type any names you aren't familiar with into a search engine and you will be in for a huge treat.
Oh, here's one if you aren't a member already: ;-)
