Seller's Description
Doc Savage stories, 213 in total, first appeared in Conde Nast'sDoc Savage Magazine pulps. The original series has sold over 20 million copies in paperback form. The first entry was The Man of Bronze, in March, 1933 from the house name "Kenneth Robeson". John L. Nanovic was editor for 10 years, and planned and approved all story outlines. The early stories were pure pulp "supersagas," as dubbed by Philip Jose Farmer, with rampaging dinosaurs and lost races, secret societies led by dastardly villains, fantastic gadgets and weapons, autogyros and zepplins, death-dealing traps and hair-raising escapes, and plots to rule the earth. In the first few stories, Doc and his aides killed enemies without compunction. An editorial decision made them kill only when necessary for a more adventurous kid-friendly magazine, unlike the bloodthirsty competitor The Shadow. First, strange lights appear in the sky over Washington D.C. Them, Army troops across the country begin dying of suffocation. The War Department asks Doc and his crew to investigate a mystery that takes them from Capitol to the Golden Gate Bridge on an adventure that literally takes one's breath away. I am selling my entire collection of DOC SAVAGE (Bantam Books) adventures (as well as THE AVENGER also by Kenneth Robeson).
