One of Doc’s friends inherits a Canadian estate, but they all get more than they bargained for, including kidnappers, torture, an Arctic colony of slaves — and a diabolical madman with a plot to rule the world!

The monstrous winged lizard swooped out of the sky bringing terror and destruction. Was this horrible creature just a freak of nature? Or did it spell the end of humanity? Doc and his aides didn’t have time to wonder. They had to push forward — into a lost valley of prehistoric beasts and men!

A criminal master of mind-control conspires to sell the ultimate weapon of terror and destruction to the Nazis. Only Doc and his daring crew can stop him. They trail their malevolent quarry to the frozen Arctic sea — and fall into an icy evil trap of machine guns, U-boats and sheer insanity! (Bantam renamed this “One-Eyed Mystic”)

The corpse of a young man in a beauty parlor, an ice pick, a camera, plants, chemistry, and Doc’s meddlesome cousin Pat Savage all add up to a frightening plot — and an all-out mission to rescue the Man of Bronze!

In a secret fortress high in the Andes, Doc and his crew are enslaved by a race of extrasensory super-blondes who worship a strange green stone with a life of its own!

World War II is drawing to a close. Hitler rigs an assassination of a look-alike double in a daring plot to save his ruined Reich — then disappears. America calls on its greatest hero — Doc Savage — to track down this most evil of adversaries and stop the phony martyrdom. Joining him in this last-ditch crusade are a wide assortment of Allied agents — one of whom may be the fleeing Fuhrer himself! (Bantam renamed this: “The Hate Genius”)

When a seemingly innocent letter leaves a trail of dead bodies, Doc tracks the mysterious sender halfway round the world to stamp out a killer whose punishment is long overdue.
