Don't hold your breath on Doc Savage. After recruiting James Patterson, Conde Nast seems determined to kill the character rather than find anyone competent. On the other hand, I am so ready for new Have Gun, Will Travel. I hope those rights are easy to get.

Everyone is familiar with the Code of Doc Savage written by John Nanovic, but have you read the Code of Monk Mayfair? #docsavage #pulpmags #pulp #johnnanovic

The Code of Monk Mayfair

Let me strive every moment to be of service to Doc, to the good people, and to my friends. Let me always think of ways to needle Ham, and to eliminate the bad people, with no regard for my personal safety. Let me smile when the heroine arrives, and remind her of Ham’s wife and 13 half-wit children. Let me be considerate whenever said heroine is watching. Let me do right by Habeas Corpus, and wrong Ham.

We're 30 years old today! The first intent of our site was a home for Doc Savage fans to share their love of the character w/o the trouble of creating their own site. After 30 years, it's still the intent of the site. We later added The Flearun & Bronze Gazette as subsidiaries. #docsavage #pulp

Today is the 30th anniversary for the Doc Savage website Hidalgo Trading Co.

This was inspired by a discussion on Doc Savage art, text, and marketing as performed by AI. (Please note that "I" isn't me. I am known to speak out on many things. :) )

The Reader's Lament

First they came for the Artist
And I did not speak out
Because I liked how easily I could make “Art”

Then they came for the Writer
And I did not speak out
Because I could write my Doc Savage vs. Batman novel in minutes!

Then they came for the Editor
And I did not speak out
Because they immediately fixed my copy for me.

Then they came for the Marketer
And I did not speak out
Because I could promote my New! Cool! Book! with ease.

Then no one came for me
Because we were all working
To keep the data centers going.

Deal. But can we agree it is set in the 1930s, you leave out the pets, and Pat Savage is a pivotal part of the film?

The Buccaneer of Buffett Bay Every now and then, we at the HTC like to add to the Doc Savage lore by creating something out of thin air. Like Bleeding Sun, the "Rediscovered" novels were presented as lost history but didn't truly exist until we made them. #docsavage #pulpmags #fanzine

Though he never said it in any of his adventures, the code of Doc Savage was certainly written to influence the readers of the pulps during the low times of the Depression. (You may note that one word was changed from the first use to last.) #docsavage #pulpfiction #pulp #adventure

Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it. Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice. Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage. Let me be considerate to my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do. Let me do right to all, and harm no man.

Emboldened by acquiring the rights for CONAN, Marvel took a chance on DOC SAVAGE OTD in 1972. Not terribly well-planned though, as #1 takes place in the present, but then, with nary an explanation, all others are wisely set in Doc's 1930 era. Lasted eight issues, but a 1975 b&w mag was stellar.

Eerily similar to the origin story of Doc Savage, a hero created for the original publishers of The Shadow. He was raised by a team of scientists to know and be good at as many things as humanly possible.

The cover of the first issue of Doc Savage Magazine, featuring a tan European man with short red hair and a torn white shirt. He stands before an indigenous stone sculpture that indigenous people peek out from behind.

Text reads, “A STREET AND SMITH PUBLICATION, AUGUST 1933, DOC SAVAGE MAGAZINE, THE MAN OF BRONZE, PRINTED IN CANADA”

From the art-chives, Doc Savage. Gouache on hot press paper, 13 x 19". Really fun piece, hasn't been a great seller at shows, though. As it goes with older pulp characters, the audience is likely limited & shrinking. So when you paint something like this, it's because you love the IP.

Read on the camp trip the first novel of Doc Savage, a 1930’s pulp hero. Had never read any savage before and it’s interesting to compare against its contemporary, the Shadow. Might be my personal preference but Shadow seems better written. Savage overtly is padding word count and doesn’t…
