{"product_id":"the-mountain-monster-doc-savage-84-9780553022391","title":"The Mountain Monster (Doc Savage #84)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Doc Savage Magazine was printed by Street \u0026amp; Smith from March 1933 to the summer of 1949 to capitalize on the success of the Shadow magazine and followed by the original Avenger in September 1939. In all  181 issues were published in various entries and alternative titles. Doc Savage became known to more contemporary readers when Bantam Books began reprinting the individual magazine novels in 1964  this time with covers by artist James Bama that featured a bronze-haired  bronze-skinned Doc Savage with an exaggerated widows peak  usually wearing a torn khaki shirt and under the by-line \"Kenneth Robeson\". The stories were not reprinted in chronological order as originally published  though they did begin with the first adventure  The Man of Bronze. By 1967  Bantam was publishing once a month until 1990  when all 181 original stories (plus an unpublished novel  The Red Spider) had run their course. Author Will Murray produced seven more Doc Savage novels for Bantam Books from Lester Dents original outlines. Bantam also published a novel by Philip Jos Farmer  Escape From Loki (1991)  which told the story of how in World War I Doc met the men who would become his five comrades. Clark Savage  Jr. first appeared in March 1933 in the first issue of Doc Savage Magazine. Because of the success of the Shadow  who had his own pulp magazine  the publishers Street \u0026amp; Smith quickly launched this pulp title. Unlike the Shadow  Clark Savage  \"Doc\" to his friends  had no special powers  but was raised from birth by his father and other scientists to become one of the most perfect human beings in terms of strength  intelligence  and physical abilities. Doc Savage set up base on the 86th floor of a world-famous New York skyscraper (implied  but never outright stated  as the Empire State Building; Phillip Jose Farmer  in his Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life  gives good evidence that this is likely the case). Doc Savage fights against evil with the assistance of the \"Fabulous Five\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646936473653,"sku":"ByrdShop_0553022393","price":98.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780553022391.jpg?v=1781682248","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-mountain-monster-doc-savage-84-9780553022391","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
