Doc Savage coming soon by Dynamite!

[CharlieRock]

Doc Savage to make a new appearance in eponymous series published by Dynamite comics. Writing credits to Chris Roberson.

Chris is quoted as saying;

    “We start in 1933, soon after Doc Savage made his first public appearance.  The next issue takes place in the late 1940s, shortly after the last published issue of the Doc Savage pulp magazine.  The third issue jumps forward to the early 1960s, and so on.  Each of these issues will be self-contained adventures that gradually piece together into one larger story spanning some 80 years.  The approach we’re taking is, just because the magazine was no longer being published, that doesn’t mean that Doc wasn’t still out there saving the world.”

I'll be getting it, I've enjoyed a lot of Roberson's writing and Doc remains one of my two favorite pulp heroes. (Operator #5 is slightly ahead, and the Shadow is close behind.)  I actually have the whole run of Bantam paperbacks.

We shall see!  The best comic adaptation, bar none, was done by Millenium.

I think Dolph Lundgren should play Doc in the gritty, big-Hollywood reboot movie.

Isn't he using a walker now?  Must be someone younger that could run with the role.

Maybe they'll work that into the story. He is the original Doc from the 30s and lived an unnaturally long life (played by the mature Dolph) and must now pass the torch to his son. Or daughter. We could get Kaley Cuoco to play his daughter (and thus spoof her role on Big Bang at the same time).
