Doc Savage


Beginning in 1964, Bantam Books began reprinting the 1930's and '40's DOC SAVAGE pulps with surprising popularity. Actor Chuck Conners was reportedly scheduled to play the Man of Bronze in a movie in 1966, of which this sole issue of a God Key comic book from that year was meant to be a tie-in. The film was never made.

  2. Let's not forget the Doc Savage movie that was made starring Ron Ely. Sure it was campy, even corny, but as a child when I saw it, I thought it was pretty cool. And who doesn't love the John Philip Sousa soundtrack?
