The Man of Bronze
1 1

Here are two busts of Doc Savage sculpted by Randy Bowen for Graphitti Designs owned by Bob Chapman.  Bob runs the licensed tshirts for SDCC.

Left bust is resin, the right bust is bronze.  The Man of Bronze in bronze.  The bronze bust came in a wooden crate .  Wish the crate was labeled Hildalgo Trading Company.

Here is my membership kit to the Brotherhood of Bronze issued by the great Jim Steranko in the seventies through his informative magazine Mediascene.

I really liked the Clark Savage Jr. signature on the membership card.

I guess not many Doc Savage fans on this forum.

I always wanted a James Bama Doc Savage original, but they are rarely available and prohibitively expensive.

I had talented professional artist, Ben Teeter, recreate my favorite Doc Savage Bama cover.

Original pulp

Poor man’s Man of Bronze published in 1933.  Generally found in poor condition.

Reminds me of Big Little books.

Still $100 book in that condition.
"Generally found in poor condition." This happens to be a very nice copy..

The six "Ideal LIbrary" books, 3 Doc Savage & 3 Shadow, was a very inexpensive line of books. printed on bad paper and flimsy covers.
I would grade this as Poor+. [Nearly exceptional copy.]

Now, to be truthful, these are no longer "books to be read", the paper is much too brittle.
The "Ideal LIbrary" books are fetish objects, items to be looked upon and revered.

It is nothing like Big Little Book. It is four times as large and has no illustrations. It is a book.

The cover is from the cover of the first Doc Savage pulp.
And yes, the original painting still exists.
