Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze by Steve Englehart

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book collects all Eight issues of the 1970s Doc Savage Comic which adapted Doc Savage novels into two issue comic stories, "The Man of Bronze," "Death in Silver," "The Monsters," and "Brand of the Werewolf."

Probably the only one of these that's superb as a story is, "The Man of Bronze" which tells the origin of Doc Savage's amazing wealth and really sets the stage for the series. The other stories in here are good, though not spectacular. However, what stands out is the art, particularly those issues done by Ross Andru of Wonder Woman fame. The images really stand out and probably more than any other comic adaptation, you really have a sense of the epicness of Doc's Adventures.

So overall, fair to good adaptations, highlighted by breathtaking and memorable art.
