Doc Savage Origin - Extravagant Masculine Pulp Superhero That World Has Forgotten - Explored!

Doc Savage rests in the memories of those lucky few who cared enough to watch the film or pick up a comic or two of this man whom Sony calls the world’s first superhero. He may not be the most famous pulp superhero but he was certainly one of the most influential ones. He was published in 1933 before heroes like Superman and Batman. Stan Lee and his likes have called him the progenitor of modern superheroes. This character was jam-packed with abilities, skills and powers, all of which he used to fight bad guys and bring them to justice. Doc Savage has Sherlock Holmes’s mental abilities, Tarzan’s strength, Bruce Banner’s scientific knowledge, and Captain America’s righteousness and goodness. Doc Savage was created at Street & Smith Publications by publisher Henry W. Ralston and editor John L. Nanovic, but the main contributor was Lester Dent. In 1975, director and producer George Pal made ‘Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze’, with Ron Ely in the titular role. Later, cinema greats like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris Hemsworth, and Dwayne Johnson were just about to play Doc Savage in films, but the projects never saw the light of day due to developmental or other issues. However, Marvelous Videos hasn’t forgotten to pay its respect and tribute to this great comic character that had a humble beginning in pulp magazines but went on to enjoy the respect of anyone who wanted to write or create anything on the lines of fantasy and adventure. Let’s explore Doc Savage and reminisce the beauty of pulp magazines and the gems that they produced.
