Doc Savage

There's a little guide by Dent on how to write Doc-style adventure. I will post a bit of it here, it's very good adventure-writer advice as one may assume it would be.
 
Id love to see them do some more Doc Savage novels.:)
 
I am surprised thats they've never attempted to do an animated Doc Savage tv series. The perfect producers would have been the people that did the Batman and Superman animated tv series in the 1990's.:)
 
Ive seen comic book crossovers in which Doc Savage meet the Shadow .
 
There was a rather crazy Philip Jose Farmer attempt to pull Doc and various other pulps into a "shared universe" kinda thing. Must dig it out - was it Man of Bronze or something?

He did a Doc save novel of his own Escape from Loki. It's quite good . :)

It is in his "biography" of Doc, Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life (or, to give its full subtitle, Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life as the Archangel of Metropolis and Exotica; as the Golden-Eyed Hero of 181 Supersagas; as the Bronze Knight of the Running Board; including His Final Battle Against the Forces of Hell Itself). I also believe he included this sort of thing in his Tarzan Alive, but I've not seen a copy of that in decades, so I could be mistaken....

I had a copy of that book and foolishly gave it away.:(
 
It doesn't go cheaply on Amazon these days (save for the Kindle edition), but it's not outrageous, either.

While looking that one up, I found there have been many more added to the Savage tales over the years... that is, many that I wasn't aware of (I have a few). Most are by writer such as Will Murray, who has been writing about Doc (he is perhaps the foremost scholar on the original canon) for over 40 years, if memory serves; but others have also joined in.

I also found these two which, if I had the cash, I'd be very tempted by:

Amazing, they were so cheap when they came out, now they're slowly becoming commodity. Not being in print anymore helps too.

Superman comic number 1 , cost 10 cents now its close to a million dollars
 
Looking at those covers Doc Savage must get his shirts made by the same people J T Kirk uses.

They do seem to rip too easily.:D

The NCAA outlawed "tear away" jerseys in college football quite a few years ago. Maybe that's why we don't see these covers being perpetuated in current publications.;)
