Doc Savage Organized

Doc Savage on the Funny Pages

We rarely feature Doc Savage material that doesn’t reside in the Hidalgo Trading Company. (Links get moved, sites close, and other problems just remind us it’s better to keep everything in-house.) That said, rush over to Rip Jagger’s Dojo to read The Return of Dave Cockrum’s Doc Savage — two weeks of Doc for the funny...

The Doc Savage Waiting Game

For the sake of argument pretend you were born around 1920. Now jump forward to when you turned 13. (Let’s say May 17, 1933.) You’ve been buying each issue of the new Doc Savage Magazine as soon as it hits the newsstand. (Where are you getting the money? You sell Grit.) You become successful. From Grit you graduate to the New York Times. Pretty soon you’re in college, but you never stop...

The Timeline of the Bleeding Sun

Quite a few years ago there was a shenanigan perpetuated by Doc Savage fans. Well, not all of the fans. Just a few. At dinner during a Pulpcon, a few of us marveled over the lists of Jay Ryan. In a homemade collection of sheets Jay has assembled all sorts of information about the various editions of Doc Savage. We wondered, “What if Jay has missed one?” Many eyes lit up and we...

How the Doc Savage Novel ‘Bleeding Sun’ Came to Be

In 1998, a few attendees of Pulpcon pretended there was a Doc Savage novel named Bleeding Sun. There wasn’t. That was the fun. Now it really is a novel. A fine work of fiction written by a true Brother of Bronze. No longer can anyone say, “The...

Pulpfest 2012 is Mere Months Away

The annual pilgrimage for pulp fans is making a pair of changes this year. First off, the con is moving to downtown Columbus. From August 9th to the 12th, the Hyatt Regency Hotel will host Pulpfest. Room rates will be $109 a night, which includes parking for one. It’ll probably be best to split your room with someone without a car. You can find more information here about the hotel and surrounding...

A 2000 Interview with Will Murray

From the interview... All of the books you wrote were based on his outlines? Every one of them. Does he have any left? Yeah, I've got enough for about seven or eight books. I started about four of them when Bantam Books pulled the plug on the series in '93. That's too bad. It was too bad, especially since I was caught in the middle of several books. I dearly wish to finish them, and I expect I will at some point, for some publisher. I would love to come in and do some new ones because that also is where a lot of the interest lies.

Lester Dent Short Video Biography

Interesting super-short documentary from a couple of years ago. See which Doc Savage fans you recognize from the final few seconds...

Doc Savage Was Born on…

No, Phillip Jose Farmer didn't already give us Doc's birthday. He just looked at a old notebook. He didn't do the research. On the other hand we did. And we can tell you that Doc's birthday is....absolutely in this article.
