The Man of Bronze is FINALLY BACK! UNCOVERED New tales written by Doc's Creator Lester Dent! For the first time anywhere, all the DOC radio scripts can all be found in one volume, over half of which have NEVER BEFORE BEEN SEEN IN PRINT! Doc Savage is one of the archetypal hero figures of the twentieth century, and his popularity and influence has extended far beyond his initial pulp origins. Doc Savage Magazine ran for 181 issues, 1933 to 1949, and then all the stories were reprinted in paperback form, beginning in the early 1960s-1980's. Doc has appeared in comics (Marvel and DC) and movies (1975 starring Ron Ely), and as a character in numerous other works, and continues to inspire authors and artists. Doc Savage is a physician, surgeon, scientist, adventurer, inventor, explorer, researcher, and musician - a renaissance man . A team of scientists (assembled by his father) trained his mind and body to near-superhuman abilities almost from birth, giving him great strength and endurance, a photographic memory , mastery of the martial arts , and vast knowledge of the sciences. Dent described the hero as a mix of Sherlock Holmes ' deductive abilities, Tarzan 's outstanding physical abilities, Craig Kennedy 's scientific education, and Abraham Lincoln 's goodness. Lester Dent, a serious man of adventure himself, contributed to the legendary BLACK MASK Magazine some hard boiled/noir crime tales as well.
