A bank robber who laughs himself to death leads the Man of Bronze and his friends on the trail West where they must face laughing lunatics and flaming corpses. But can even Doc Savage survive where he comes face to face with the Master of Fear?
From the author’s afterword, “I had not originally intended the emotional binge that this story takes. I had wanted to write a more classic style of adventure without interpretation, but the story seemed to take on a life of its own. In the end, I was pleased with the result. You will have to be the judge for yourself.”
I think Wright – the creator and writer (no long with us since this last decade) of
ASYLUM OF FEAR is near the center of the photos. Editor and maker for B.GAZETTE is second, near far left, and clearly that is Murray at the start of these faces. The work is a short novel, if memory serves, and artwork (plus a lot of covers of NOT made Doc stories) was by Kez who has a pulp fake doc covers blog.
