Doc Savage Comics
What draws fans of the Doc Savage novels to Doc Savage comic books, like moths to the flame? Every year, it seems, a comic book company announces they're doing "the true Doc." Every year we get burned. But hope springs eternal, because a literary character that inspired so many cartoon adventurers and their creators, should make a fantastic comic! Most recently Dark Horse failed, and the option is in limbo. It would take a very talented, influential Doc fan to turn around his comic book prospects.
Note to industry: A painted graphic novel is the only way to go! We grew up on Bama, not Byrne.
Listing
By popular demand! A list of every Doc Savage comic book story (I'm pretty sure), with
number, date, and pricing information. Not included are uncredited appearances, like
The Rocketeer (his best four-color incarnation!), or the recent Superman "Pulp
Heroes" Annual (No.9).
