Air Wave

I thought I had stopped marvelling at the diversity of long lost comic book heroes from the 1940's and their unusual powers, but this story about "Air Wave", posted on Four Color Shadows, made me marvel again.  Apparently, Air Wave used "wireless" and "radio magic" to gather intelligence and foil criminal plots.  He had a talking parrot sidekick named "Static."  I could really not make this stuff up.
