Doc Savage

Doc Savage, also known to the world at large as The Man of Bronze, is a legendary figure.

The adventures of Doc Savage and his crew have been documented in literaly hundreds of pulp magazines, novels, comic books, and even a movie. Doc Savage was the most popular hero of the Pulp Era and has spawned legions of immitations. Doc's influences are felt in everything from Batman to Superman and James Bond, down to modern novelists such as Clive Cussler and Jack DuBrul. It is an awesome legacy.
