|  Re-experience the classic novels that Stan Lee recognizes as "the progenitors of today's Fantastic Four and many other teams of superheroes".
Forward by Peter Davi, original pulp covers by Robert Harris, interior illustrations by Paul Orbin with historical articles by Will Murry.
Resurrection Day: First published in 1936, the Man of Bronze perfects a method for resurrecting a dead human being but only one person from all of human history can be revived.
Repel: A strange new element called Repel (first published in 1937), is expelled in a South
Pacific volcanic eruption but falls into the hands of Doc Savage’s most formidable foe.
Never before has there been such a group of altruistic adventurers as Doc Savage and his five companions. Raised from the cradle for his task in life, Clark Savage, Jr., goes from one end of the world to another, righting wrongs, helping the oppressed, liberating the innocent. With limitless wealth at his command if he needs it, Doc has the best of scientific equipment and supplies. He maintains his New York headquarters as a central point, but in addition has his Fortress of Solitude at a place unknown to anyone, where he goes at periodic intervals to increase his knowledge and concentrate. His "college" in upper New York is a scientific institution to which he sends all captured crooks, for there, through expert treatment, they are made to forget all of their past and start life anew.
Fighting these battles with Doc Savage are his five companions. Ham is Brigadier General Theodore Marley Brooks, the most astute lawyer Harvard ever turned out; a faultless dresser, and as adept with his ever-present sword cane as he is with words. Monk, his "sparring" partner, though he looks like a gorilla, is actually a most learned chemist—Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett Mayfair, one of the foremost chemists in the world. Ham, during the War, taught Monk some French words to use in flattering a French officer. The words weren't flattering, it turned out, and Monk spent some time in the guard house. Soon after, a supply of hams was missed, and all the evidence led to Ham, who denied his guilt. It gave him the name, and the cause for the continual battle between the two. Yet, when it comes to a showdown, they would gladly give their lives for each other.
Renny, or Colonel John Renwick, is a leading engineer. And his huge fists enjoy knocking through wooden panels. He likes a fight better than a slide rule. Long Tom, the electrical wizard, and Johnny, the geologist and archaeologist, complete the group. Johnny is William Harper Littlejohn; Long Tom is Major Thomas J. Roberts.
All of this group are famous in their own name, yet they find more joy in helping others than in adding to their own wealth. Under the guidance of Doc Savage, they form a perfect band of adventurers whose lives are one thrill after another.
