The tagline for the series reads: Doc Savage and his mighty crew return in a brand-new series of nightmare exploits that can only be called…. The Wild Adventures of Doc Savage!

By the way, if people haven't already read it, Matt Wagner & John K. Snyder III did a [I]Doctor Mid-Nite[/I] three-issue Prestige Format series back in 1999 that was collected into a tpb (which was reissued a couple of years back).
[img]http://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/6/67663/3498164-01.jpg[/img]
It introduced the character of Pieter Cross as the new Dr. Mid-Nite; he was the one who was a member of the JSA during the Geoff Johns run.

Has anybody else been buying the [I]Doc Savage: The Ring of Fire[/I] four-issue series from Dynamite?

Issue #3 just came out last week, and I've been enjoying it so far.

David Avallone has killed on this book and he was great on The Shadow/Twilight Zone before that. I hope he comes back for another Doc tale after this one concludes.

Does anybody know if Dynamite will continue with their licensing of [I]The Spider[/I]?
Doesn't seem like he's been used anywhere in a while, and back in [I]Masks 2 #8[/I] (in 2015), the character was still listed as "[B][FONT=Comic Sans MS]trademarks of Argosy Communications, Inc.[/FONT][/B]"

I've been reading some of the [I]Tales of the Red Panda[/I] novels and they've been goofy-fun.
I've also been reading a collection that reprints the original [I]Domino Lady[/I] stories from 1936 and enjoyed those, too.

I just finished an [I]Airship 27[/I] collection of "New Pulp" stories with the [I]Phantom Detective[/I], but that was a bit hit-or-miss.
[img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/515EJ1S0JpL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg[/img]
Might check into the [I]original[/I] stories of that character collected by Sanctum Books next to compare.

First read this book back in the early-to-mid-1970s when I originally bought it, though the image isn't my own personal copy.
(Mine does look like that, though, with the same cover-price: [B][FONT=Century Gothic]75¢[/FONT][/B].)

Yeah, a lot of the recent pulp revival books have been really good. I think what Will Murray's been doing is great.
In fact I've taken to writing my own pulps in the Doc Vandal series which is currently available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback formats.
