Happy Birthday to Doc Savage friend and aide, Ham Brooks!

April 8, 1949 was the end of an era as Street & Smith announced they were ending their pulps. The last Doc Savage novel, Up From Earth's Center, would come out in the summer. #pulp #docsavage #adventure #books

It was only six years into the 16 year pulp run. What made it different was the gimmick that a group of boys helped Doc. So when it was published, editor John Nanovic tried promoting it in such places as Boy's Life with the hope of attracting new fans. The kids never reappeared in another pulp.

I know of a handful of Gen Z fans. And most Gen X are closer to the tail end of Boomers, so you're in the tail end of this era of Doc Savage fans. (The third in case you're wondering. :) )

As someone deep in the Doc Savage fandom, I'm sad to report that you are correct and it isn't just Boomers, but also Gen X fans.

Also, almost every fan has reported their children didn't take up the desire to collect and read Doc Savage. So there was no one to leave their collection.

Happy Birthday to Doc Savage's close friend and aide, Johnny Littlejohn! #docsavage #pulp #adventure

Yes. The older Steve Holland was both a cover model for many more than just Doc Savage though and he was an actor from 1951 to 1964. He was best known there as Flash Gordon: www.imdb.com/name/nm03908...

The link for Lester Dent's Master Plot Formula doesn't seem to work. I also have it here though it wasn't for Doc Savage novels:

docsavage.org/lester-dents...

Always just the one Doc Savage novel, and depending on the year there was a letters column, editorial, other mystery or detective fiction, ads (of course), and the occasional related column.

Though the novel text and some reprints are online, I don't know of any scans of the original mag online.

Lester Dent did publish a novel as a serial in 1944: Take Away the Lady.

I've linked to every chapter from the Florance, AL Times:

Have you ever had the chance to read one of the Doc Savage magazines in full?

As I remember, Reynolds presented his findings to Congress and even traveled to the USSR to speak on his research.

Exactly. It wasn't controversial during the era though. Street & Smith thought it was a better idea than killing the bad guys as was done in most "hero" pulp stories. For them, Doc Savage was more humane.

52 years ago today, George Pal's Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze wrapped principal photography with the filming on the Fortress of Solitude set on stage 25 at Warner Bros. Studios. Ironically(?) filming had commenced on January 23 in Grand Junction, Colorado with the snowmobile scenes that directly precede it. Although the initial shooting schedule had planned a 44-day shoot (ending on April 2), they actually wrapped in 41 days. (I have the 40th day call-sheet which indicates at the bottom what they were doing the next day, but my collection is missing the actual 41st day.)

Doc Savage fan Chris Kalb has the call sheets for the film, Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze and he determined the film finished principal photography 52 years ago today. Where were you on March 29, 1974?

Searching the archive. I love all my paperback title page plates, but putting my Doc Savage plates on the same page as my Nero Wolfe plates is sort of a tribute to my marriage. (Theindexpress.com is where I’m poetically reinterpreting the collection. I’m not mad about the world every second.)

My Gradma gave me the new Doc Savage novels.

My mother drove me to all the local bookstores to find those used Doc Savage novels. And when my dad had me on weekends, he'd let me buy whatever new Doc novel had been released.

To all the folks heading to the 25th Windy City Pulp & Paper Con today...I hope you find that Doc Savage #1 you need to complete your collection!

Oh no. Doc Savage taught us we can't die in quicksand. Molten pools of gold on the other hand...

Lester Dent's note on the amount received for his first Doc Savage novel. For the first 10 years he averaged almost 12 novels a year.

One note: Dent was selling to Street & Smith. And he received $500 for his first Doc Savage novel in 1932. "In 32, a compensation of $500 is worth $43,632.29 today as measured by its relative share of an index of Production Workers Compensation." Explanation:

Oh, you were talking way back...in the 30s and 40s? Yes, those original Doc Savage books were written fast and consistent as "comfort fiction." The intended audience was late-teen males (though others enjoyed them) who were more interested in the gadgets and locales than in the prose.

A human wrote stories that mattered to so many. Eventually he allowed me to help collect them into the book I'm holding. Human words that came together with human art on paper that will last long after I am gone. The Old Man was once his idea, and he became a Work of Human Hands by William Preston.
