Pat Riot Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 When I was in the Navy the ship's library (more like broom closet with books) had a great number of Doc Savage books. I tried reading them. I didn't care for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Doc Savage was written for early teen-age boys in the thirties and forties. 181 volumes. The first I read, in 1962, was Shadow of The Wolf and I eventually owned all 181 stories. They still crop up now and again but the last I saw were two stories to the book and were NOT in order.

I don't recall the first I read, and I can't say how many, although it was nowhere near all of them. For the longest time, I wanted a sword cane like Ham had, though.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Those sword canes are still for sale, but laws vary from place to place. Edited January 16, 2017 by Forty Rod SASS 3935 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 They are still for sale, but laws vary from place to place. Now I'd rather have guns. OK, maybe a claymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Tom Swift I don't recognize any of the ones you have listed. Do you recognize this name? I have some of his books and my dad had them when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blarney Kid Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I fist read the Doc Savage stories in comic book form then read some of the books. Unfortunately, I also watched the movie they made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Clay Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I have the first 80 Bantam reprints, need to dig them out and read them again. Wonderful stuff. Don't know if kids today would be able to understand the technology like Autogiros and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tried to donate mine to the high school where I worked i was told that they were inappropriate for children under 21 years old.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Was always an Edgar Rice Burroughs guy myself. I never did read any Doc Savage, but I remember seeing gazilions of copies of the paperbacks around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sad, but expected I suppose. I read all of mine before the age of 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
