Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze

    (Millennium, 1991-1992)

Doc Savage, “the Man of Bronze” was created in 1933 by Lester Dent, writing under the name of Kenneth Robeson. Savage, along with the Shadow were probably the two most important characters of the 1930s pulps, serving as the inspiration to countless characters which followed. These include Superman, Batman, Indiana Jones, Buckaroo Banzai, and countless others.

After 182 novels published in the 1930s and 1940s, Savage fell from popularity, and the magazine that spawned him ceased publishing in 1949. Marvel picked up the character for a 1972 color, and a 1975 black-and-white series, with mixed results. The character rights then moved over to DC in the 1980s, which tried to place the hero in the modern world, again with unsatisfying results. Millennium’s treatment in Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze seems to come closest to the original, capturing all the action, humanity, and humor of the original novels.
