The longest-running, still updated Doc Savage website. We're the holding company for the Flearun and the Bronze Gazette.
Ninety-three years ago today, Lester Dent started writing The Man of Bronze (March 1933), his first Doc Savage novel for Street & Smith. He mentioned the day in his foreword to No Light to Die By (May 1947) #docsavage #pulp #adventure

From office boy to vice-president at Street & Smith, Henry W. Ralston helped shape the golden age of pulp fiction with magazines like The Shadow and Doc Savage. He wasn’t just publishing adventure; he was shaping an industry.

Happy birthday to Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze. Here’s to daring rescues, ingenious gadgets, and a crew you’d trust on any wild adventure. What’s your favorite Doc moment, cover, or aide, and why? #DocSavage #Pulp #GoldenAge #Adventure #pulpfiction DocSavage.Org

Born Nov 4 1917, Babette Rosmond kept Doc Savage alive at Street & Smith in the 40s, editing the pulp through its mid-decade transformation. Later a trailblazing editor, author & health activist, she proved that adventure wasn’t just for the men on the page. #DocSavage #pulp #adventure #pulpfiction

Happy Belated Birthday to Walter Baumhofer, the artist who first (and best IMO) painted Doc Savage. #pulp #adventure #art #illustrator #artist #docsavage #pulpfiction

Sad news for us all. I immediately remembered his many articles and his poetic tribute to the opening of The Man of Bronze (Bronze Gazette 15).

Requiescat in pace, David

"Friends" is a beloved American animated sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Apologies, but we were unable to post yesterday on the anniversary of the birth of Doc Savage author W. Ryerson Johnson. Johnson wrote two novels and supplied the idea for a third. #docsavage #pulp #adventure #birthday

17 Doc Savage fan novel hardbacks. These are very difficult to find in this condition. Bleeding Sun is a top notch Doc Savage novel in the Doc Savage oeuvre -- fan or not. (Not my sale.) #docsavage #pulp #pulpfiction

Just posted a Doc Savage “Cover Art Check.” I've grouped some uncredited pulp covers by likely artist, but there’s some disagreement. I'm curious what others think.

Who do you think painted what? Please come comment with your thoughts. #docsavage #art #pulp

Some Doc Savage pulps up for sale on Ebay. The great news is that these are not slabbed. #docsavage #pulpmagazine
My last #DocSavage issues are up for auction! These #1940s pulps from 1943 are the last in the #EdCoxCollection and can be yours! These were actually bought by my father and uncle and even have their names scrawled in pencil on some of the correspondence school coupons.

Just dropped: Daryl Morrissey’s Refraction 003: Quest of the Spider, a deep dive into Lester Dent’s 1933 tale of the Gray Spider’s sinister lumber empire and Doc Savage’s daring fight against poison flies, swamps, and subterfuge. Pulp adventure, weird menace, and classic heroics await. #docsavage

Cue the fans who will yelp "Doc didn't carry a gun!" :)

Truth is, Doc could shoot as well as anyone and while he didn't carry a gun in most of the novels, it can't be said he NEVER carried a gun.

First time I’ve drawn this guy in years. Small Doc Savage sketch drawn at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social. An art demo that got a little out of hand.

Trapped in a high-rise elevator that "doesn't exist," Clark Savage III battles WATCH, a glitchy AI voice assistant. With no escape and no rescue, he must face his father's legacy, impostor syndrome, & an AI badly in need of a firmware update.

James Bama’s cover for The Spook Legion #16/'67 has the Man of Bronze fade from sight. A masterclass in Bantam's Doc Savage reinvention w/ripped shirt, ripped physique, & widow's peak. Oil on board, 12.75" x 20" #docsavage #jamesbama #pump #paperback #cover

Happy Birthday, John! The pulse-pounding world of Doc Savage was greatly shaped by magazine editor John L. Nanovic, whose vision turned pulp into legend. #docsavage #pulpfiction

We just published the 2nd of @dazzah1.bsky.social 's Doc Savage pulp "Refractions." They're very detailed looks at the novels with an eye toward marking all the gadgets, villains, locations, etc of the pulps. #docsavage #pulp #adventure

At the time the original Doc Savage adventures were written, there were 48 states in the United States of America. (Hawaii and Alaska were added in 1959.)

Of those 48 states, can you guess which never had a mention?
