Bet they would had been stories too.

Doc Savage Fantasy bookcovers.

Heh, pretty cool. And some nice photoshop work there, really had the feel of the Doc paperbacks (I have almost all of them, started around the Feathered Octopus (Yeah, I'm that old.)
We haul ours to kick theirs.

I really, really want to read this one...

Just out of interest, what is the deal with Doc's hair in those illustrations? Or is it meant to be some sort of helmet? Really weird looking whichever it is.  :?

According to the books he did wear a metal skull cap, that simulated his natural hair, for protection.

I like Doc's musculature of the Ballentine books, but like the old pulp magazine face better.



This is more like how I see him...



I hope if they ever do the new movie about him they go with the retro looking Doc before the Arnold/muscle bound looking Doc.

Sorry about that second picture earlier. It appears that some sites do that when you hotlink to their pictures.

Just out of curiosity (and to avoid doing it) - what was the picture?

Something distinctly NSFW, and somewhat dated. You really don't want to know.

Thanks for deleting that, Prof.

Sorry, Professor!!!

The picture was working fine when I first posted it. I can only imagine what sort of picture got substituted in it's place. Just please tell me it wasn't that horrid bathtub scene that I've seen before!!

I have saved the pic and placed it on ImageShack so it should be working fine now. But still would like your permission repost it, if I may.

Once again... SORRY everybody!!!

Warren
