Making a Splash: The Marvel-ous Doc Savage

What it is, Groove-ophiles! Today, whaddya say we rock some Doc? Doc Savage, that is! Young Groove had been quite tempted by the variety of Doc Savage paperbacks on his visits to the local library, but was not quite ready to take the dive into "real" novels (I was only 9, man!). As usual, it was Marvel Comics to the rescue! In July 1972, the first ish of Marvel's Doc Savage hit the stands, and I could not wait to slap my twin dimes down on the counter so I could find out just how cool Doc and His Amazing Five really were. Young Groove truly dug the stories adapted by Steve Englehart (who was quickly becoming my new fave Marvel author with Captain America, Avengers, and the Beast) and Ross Andru (along with a bevy of awesome inkers), so naturally I quickly became a frantic Doc fan. It wasn't long before I was tackling those Doc paperbacks from the library, which carried me through a couple disappointing years of no new Doc comics until Marvel's all-new b&w mag brought him back to us (bigger and better than ever under Doug Moench, Tony DeZuniga, and friends, might I add). But enough yang-yang, let's get on to the incredible artistry of Ross Andru, Rich Buckler, John Buscema, Tony DeZuniga, Marie Severin, Val Mayerik, and Ernie Chan in bronze, black, and white!
