Doc Savage Fans

It's a lonely life being a Pulp fan in the UK!

Great idea James, adding Doc and Spider fans.  I had read several Bantam Shadow ppbks back in mid-'60's and was already a fan when I was introduced to Doc Savage by a friend I traded comic books with.  I later found "Phantom City"-the 10th ppbk Doc Savage story published by Bantam lying in hallway at junior high school I was attending.   When my friend wasn't willing to trade some comics for it, I figured I was stuck with it so I sat down one rainy afternoon when me an my neighborhood buddies couldn't play baseball and read the story. Once I got into the story I couldn't put it down, was hooked on Doc Savage and eventually collected the complete series from Bantam, Will Murray's 7 new adventures published from '91-'93  and the 5 "outlaw" adventures from Patty Cockburn, Howard Wright and Lance Curry published outside the Conde Naste publishing rights.  I'm now collecting the reprint series of Doc Savage from Anthony Tollin- replacing the ppbk series with the magazine style closely resembling the original pulp series.  Have bought and read Murray's new "Desert Demons" wild adventures of Doc Savage, anxious to get more from Will.  Hope all Doc Savage fans will sign on with the Cobalt Club.

Shavager,

Did you ever pick up the "missing" double 127/128? That had the All-white Elf and The Running Skeletons.

Comment by Shavager on January 29, 2012 at 5:01pm

No Mike, Bantam NEVER published the double 127/128--they went into the Ominbus editions starting with these two stories.   I don't know about you but when Bantam starting printing the doubles with already published stories that had been in single publication already, it threw off my collecting--I already had 2 issues each of the singles.  Mike, Google "Doc Bantam List" and you'll get a list of publication of the books--you can check, #125 & 126 ended the doubles and the Omnibus started with the All White Elf & Running Skeletons.

I know Bantam never put it out. It was the first of the fan books that was put out. They were released at one of the Pulpcons if I'm not mistaken. They did a pretty good job on it.

I've had this for a number of years.

I've never seen it before, down here in Fla. there were a lot of publications that were available up in northern areas we never got down here--Spider publications from Rich Harvey and Bold Venture Press are an example.  As a matter of fact, unless you had knowledge of Anthony Tollin's reprint series, you would never know they are being published unless you saw the story in a film magazine and checked at local bookstore for availability. For me, I saw the original advertisement for the reprints but checked several different bookstores none of which had them before I found them on computer--my first introduction to computer at a local librart--boy what a frustrating experience that was until a librarian gave assistance. Though I like the full cover single issues best, I sometimes wish Bantam had went to double issues sooner as to complete the series quicker--imagine there are many Doc Savage fans from our generation that never got opportunity to read or collect them all.  Where did you get your copy from?
