DOC SAVAGE
"To the world at large, Doc Savage is a strange, mysterious figure of glistening bronze skin and golden eyes. To his amazing co-adventurers - the five greatest brains ever assembled in one group - he is a man of superhuman strength and protean genius, whose life is dedicated to the destruction of evil-doers. To his fans he is the greatest adventure hero of all time, whose fantastic exploits are unequalled for hair-raising thrills, breathtaking escapes and bloodcurdling excitement" - Back cover blurb to the Bantam paperbacks. Truer words were never written!
Reviews of the original pulp series by "Kenneth Robeson" (mostly Lester Dent) as well as the new adventures and pastiches by Will Murray and Philip Jose Farmer. Also, a dozen brief notes on Doc's cameo appearances in books by other writers and on some curious aspects of the saga.
