A History of the Doc Savage Adventures in Pulps, Paperbacks, Comics, Fanzines, Radio and Film

De: Robert Michael “Bobb” Cotter

Narrado por: Mike Hennessy

Doc Savage is the prototype of the modern fictional superhero. The character exploded onto the scene in 1933, with the Great Depression and the gathering clouds of war as a cultural backdrop. The adventure series is examined in relation to historical events and the changing tastes of readers, with special attention paid to the horror and science fiction elements. Chapters cover Doc Savage paperbacks, pulp magazines, comic books, and fanzines, and an appendix offers biographies of all major contributors to the series.

Finally an audio organizer for Doc Savage!

This audiobook is perfect for all of us Doc Savage Fans to help us organize all of the diverse stories about the adventures of Doc Savage and his fabulous five. Bobb Cotter showed that he had understood Doc and I appreciate the research work that he had put into his book and the summaries of all Doc's exploits in the pulps was simply fantastic to have them arranged for comparisons. I have difficulty reading through lots of straight text myself, but Mike Hennessy's narration made it very interesting for repeated listens because I just really enjoyed listening to it, just like with a Doc Savage novel. I did have to purchase the printed book too, so that I could use it as a resource, especially for the appendix mentioned several times by the narrator since there was nothing to download but that is double the fun to have the text in hand.
