Hey, pulp adventure fans! Now at the news site Comics for Sinners, you can read my review of The Doc Savage Archives, Vol. 1: The Curtis Magazine Era, currently available from Dynamite Entertainment. This oversized hardcover collects the entire eight-issue run of Marvel Comics’ Doc Savage comic magazine from the 1970s (Curtis Magazines was the company that owned Marvel at the time). Behind that striking cover art by Ken Barr, you’ll find stories by fan-favorite writers Doug Moench (Batman, Moon Knight) and John Warner (Son of Satan), and art by comic legends John Buscema (The Avengers), Marie Severin (Incredible Hulk), Tony Dezuniga (Jonah Hex), Val Mayerik (Howard the Duck), and Ernie Chan (Kull the Destroyer). Head on over to C4S to read all about it.
Speaking of Doc Savage, are you pulp enthusiasts familiar with the work of artist Bob Larkin, who is widely regarded among Doc Savage fans as the number two Doc cover painter of all time, right behind his mentor, James Bama? Well, it just so happens that StarWarp Concepts is the publisher of The Bob Larkin Sketchbook, which contains spectacular pencil drawings of Doc Savage, Pat Savage, the Shadow, and a host of other subjects by the talented Mr. Larkin—including a Doc/Shadow face-off drawn especially for this collection! It’s 24 pages of artistic goodness, available exclusively from the StarWarp Concepts webstore. Visit the Bob Larkin Sketchbook product page for all the ordering information, as well as sample pages.
