Welcome
Black Jack Justice Fans
This website is a celebration of
the Old Time Radio Detective.
Over at Addictive Comics,
we have
been fortunate enough to produce a
webcomic version of Decoder
Ring Theatre's wonderful Black
Jack Justice.
As an added bonus to our readers we
thought you may enjoy learning a bit about where Jack Justice
and Trixie Dixon we "born", so to speak.
Old Time Radio refers to that
period of history before television when the radio was the
primary form of home entertainment. Radio shows were
very different during this time than what you hear
today. Like modern television, there were comedies,
dramas, westerns, adventures, soap operas -- and of course,
detective shows.
Gregg Taylor and
Decoder Ring Theater drew inspiration from the
Old Time Radio Detective Shows when creating Jack
Justice and his world. If you love Black Jack
Justice, you will feel right at home in the
1940's San Francisco of Sam Spade or the 1950's
Chicago of Randy Stone's Nightbeat.
Many of the shows were quite good and hold up
well to the modern ear. And thanks to the internet, they
are more easily available than ever. We have
located 100% Free sources of most of
the shows listed to the left. All you
need is an internet connection (high speed
preferably) and this site to start enjoying the
wonders of the Old Time Radio Detectives
today.

started. Everything is explained on each page.
