batmiesta Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 It's Sunday at it's raining (just for a change) so thought I would show one of my favourite Marvel magazine runs, Doc Savage, you can't go wrong with Ken Barr covers. And last but not least, #8 my favourite cover of this short run title. Metarog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmiesta Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 #8 is super tough to find in HG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing Spidey Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Great set of magazines with amazing cover art. 8 is the toughest, I agree, but issue 2 in true high grade is tough as well(black cover). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Super sweet looking copies, and great cover art. How are the interior stories? The character seems to be getting hot again with the movie starring The Rock scheduled for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene465 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Gonna have to break mine out and actually look at them and read them! Picked up this series recently after getting back into collecting, had this run in my original collection over 35 years ago! Nice little run!

batmiesta Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 What sort of grade are they?its relatively easy to put a set together unless you are after a HG set, it is indeed a nice little run, just not on a lot of peoples lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 The owner of my LCS collects Doc Savage pulps. I'll ask him if he has any nice looking #8's when I see him on Wednesday. batmiesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Maybe I should dig my Doc Savage paperbacks out for the Paperback thread over in gold... I finally finished the run of those a decade or so ago. The pulps, I've only got about 15 or so, mostly digest issues.

boomtown Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I was 12 years old when the Ron Ely Doc Savage Movie came out in the Summer of 1975. Me and a group of friends were dropped off to see it the day it was released in San Antonio, TX. There was a group of like 7 or 8 of us and we were the only people in the theater, it was dead. So we get out and are heading for the exit to wait for our ride home when the manager rushes up to us. We figured, , they want us to clean up the mess we left behind, but no, it was better than that. Ron Ely was running late but was on his way to make a surprise appearance at the theater, we were the only kids there that had watched the movie. The manager was desperate to keep us there so we got to sit around for 20-30 minutes waiting with the snack bar opened up for us at no charge. Got to meet Ron Ely and had a bunch of photos taken (never saw them in the newspaper) and got a stack of autographs on the promo poster (same image as Doc Savage #1 mag). As a kid I was pretty excited, but looking back on it, it had to be a huge disappointment for Ron Ely to walk in and realize that the movie was going to bomb.
