Donaldson, Rig. Rig Donaldson was created by O.B. Myers (Clipper Stark) and appeared in three stories in Detective Tales and The Spider from 1939 to 1941, beginning with “Death Keeps the Wire Open” (Detective Tales, Oct. 1939).

Rig Donaldson is a telephone lineman who solves a crime, gets the reward, and becomes a private detective. He is a skilled radio operator, and uses that skill to solve radio-related crimes. He marries Sandy Sandrick, despite Rig being crude–he’s got a head full of courage, and that’s enough for Sandy.
