Doc Savage Website Updates
The Lord of Lightning FallsJul 24, 10
A little late but we've just added DOC SAVAGE #4 which wraps up the "Lord of Lightning" saga (but not the Justice, Inc. "Worst Nightmare" tale).
Don't know about you but I'm a little disappointed in the series, though it's not exactly a crime against humanity (as some critics seem to take it--no names). Hey, it's not even a crime against Lester Dent. But it's no worse than any other Doc comic book and I'm happy to have the Man of Bronze back in any form.
Check it all out here.
Supercool Doc Savage Fantasy Covers!Jul 8, 10
Just discovered a fascinating new site: Keith "Kez" Wilson has created fantasy Doc Savage covers! What is a fantasy cover you ask? Well, suppose Doc Savage had an adventure where he met Dracula, or King Kong, or The Blob? And Lester Dent wrote it up as a grand pulp extravaganza? Well, Kez has employed his artistic skills to create a Bantam paperback cover to illustrate those novels! There are nearly 40 of them on his site, and each comes with an appropriate back of the cover blurb!
And not to be outdone, he has also reworked the Bantam double volumes to show what they would have looked like as singletons, so that Bob Larkin's amazing covers can be seen in all their glory!
It's here at http://www.miscmayhemprods.com/doc/
Another site I ran across is Clayguy.com, the homepage of sculptor Barry Crawford who designs and creates freestanding figures of favorite science fiction, horror and adventure characters. He has a nice gallery of Doc Savage characters available for retail sale, with the promise of more to come!

Another Doc Achievement!Jun 16, 10
Trust Doc Savage to present something that has rarely taken place in comics history: a dirigible chase!
As Doc pursues the minions of the Lord of Lightning through the skies to rescue his captured aide Monk, things look like they will be coming to an epic climax in the next issue! But for now, what we have is DOC SAVAGE #3!
Plus, the Avenger is hot on the trail of the kidnappers of his associate Josh (what is it with kidnapped aides this issue?) and we know he will show no mercy!
Check it all out here.
Double Doc DynamiteMay 22, 10
An overdose of Bronze struck us on May 12: the simultaneous release of DOC SAVAGE #2 and FIRST WAVE #2!
It took me a bit of time to recover but I've just posted a synopsis and review of DOC #2. Have a look here.
And for completeness' sake (because that's the kind of hairpin I am) the write-up on FW #2 is here.
Hope you like them; see you next month!
Have No Fear, Doc Savage is Here!!!Apr 16, 10
Good news! DC's new Doc Savage was released this week and I'm so happy I can't think of a thing to say! So I said it all here.
The bad news is that FIRST WAVE #2 has been delayed yet again. Here's hoping for next week.
At least it kept me from OBing (overbronzing) on Doc this week!
Say It Ain't So!Apr 7, 10
The release of FIRST WAVE #2 has been delayed a week until April 14, which is when the first issue of the new DOC SAVAGE is scheduled as well.
Double Doc delights? We'll see.
Next week.
First Wave is Here!!!Mar 4, 10
 The long-awaited miniseries FIRST WAVE is here!!!
Introducing the DC alternate universe in which pulp adventurers, not superheroes, protect the world, this serves as the foundation for new titles featuring Doc Savage, The Spirit, Justice Inc. and more!
Read a synopsis of FIRST WAVE #1 here.
And a full review is now available!
Doc Savage! Now With Fan Art!Feb 24, 10
 We've finally added some fan art to the Doc Savage Library. Be sure to check out the contributions of Jerod Blayney and Karyn Anderson in the Image Gallery (under Multimedia on the menu bar) and prepare yourself for some astounding images! Jerod uses his distinctive photo-collage technique (seen at the Captain America Library) to team Doc with Indiana Jones, while Karyn provides a fine portrait of Doc and the aides. Amazing!
And remember, only one week until FIRST WAVE!
