Summary:
Doc Savage is not only the prototype of the modern fictional
superhero; he was also a seminal force in creating multimedia
crossovers. The character exploded onto the scene in 1933, with the
Great Depression and the gathering clouds of war as a cultural
backdrop. The series is examined in relation to historic events and
changing audience tastes, with special attention on the horror and
science-fiction elements. The artwork features illustrations, covers,
and original art. Appendices cover Doc Savage paperbacks, pulp
magazines, comic books, and fanzines, and a biographical appendix
covers all major contributors to the series.
