I hadn&#8217;t realised he had published a 455-page <em>Writings in Bronze<\/em> ebook on <em>Doc Savage<\/em> in 2012.  It seems to be well regarded and Murray had access to the Lester Dent archives. More of a compendium than a book of academic essays it seems&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;there&#8217;s more information on the history of Doc Savage than most Doc fans even knew existed.

Because Amazon spams with unwanted <em>Shadow<\/em> and <em>Spider<\/em> stuff in the search results &mdash; even when you&#8217;re specifically searching for &#8220;Doc Savage&#8221; in quotes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Superhero-heavy comics blog Smash Pages has a new interview with Will Murray, mostly on Doc Savage.
