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!
Upcoming Doc Savage Comics!Feb 22, 10
As promised, there is now a section for Upcoming Comics on the Doc Savage site!
Now you can check out the first new Doc stuff since 1995. Just go to Comics on the menu above, pull it down and click to see details on forthcoming issues of FIRST WAVE and Doc's solo title!
And FW makes its debut next week! I'm sure we'll all be superamalgamated!
And More to Come!Feb 13, 10
DC continues to cater to Doc Savage fans: first there was BATMAN/DOC SAVAGE returning our hero to the land of comics once more. Then the announcement of the new miniseries FIRST WAVE (starting March 3) and now it is revealed that there will be a new DOC SAVAGE solo series for the first time since 1995! The writer will be Paul Malmont, author of that Doc Savage/Shadow/pulp homage The Chinatown Death-Cloud Peril, and art wil be by Howard Porter (JLA) and Art Thibert (X-MEN, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN). First issue goes on sale April 14!
And I hope to have a real "Upcoming Comics" section on this site soon. Who knew Doc would be back?
Doc Savage Meets BatmanJan 4, 10
Doc Savage is back in the world of DC comics, making his long-awaited reurn in BATMAN/DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL #1 a one-shot designed to lead into the miniseries FIRST WAVE!
A synopsis and review of this landmark issue appears here.
And issue one of FIRST WAVE goes on sale March 3!
Happy New Year! Happy New...Doc?Jan 1, 10
A big surprise for the new year: DC is again publishing Doc Savage comics!
Took me completely by surprise: BATMAN/DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL #1 was released in November (with a January cover date) but I only heard about it last week. Fortunately my local comics shop has a copy on the shelf and I snapped it up and read it.
It's the prelude to a new miniseries called FIRST WAVE written by Brian Azzarello, positing an alternate universe in which pulp adventurers, not superheroes, protect the world.
In this issue, Doc Savage comes to Gotham City; his mission: to track down the masked vigilante known as--the Batman!
A fuller synopsis and review will appear over the weekend, but rejoice! After a 15 year hiatus, Doc Savage is back in the comics!
(And I resolve to be more on top of this sort of thing from now on. Really)
End of Year AdditionsDec 26, 09
Greetings from the waning days of 2009!
I've added a couple of things to the site.
First, Speculations in Bronze, a blog by Arthur H. Sippo who likes to delve into the scientific backgrounds of the Doc Savage sagas, examining gadgets, superweapons and settings for scientific accuracy as well as tackling continuity problems. That would be here: http://speculations-in-bronze.blogspot.com/
Second, new Doc Savage fan fiction by Mace Draper launching Doc into the modern era a la DC Comics. His site is here: www.angelfire.com/realm2/docsavage
Now I've got to hurry off: I received a copy of A History of the Doc Savage Adventures in Pulps, Paperbacks, Comics, Fanzines, Radio and Film, by Robert Michael Cotter as a Christmas present from my beloved wife and I've got to read it. Now.
Happy New Year to you all!
