Re: Which Doc cover style do you like best? Well I like most people here grew up with the Bama image of Doc Savage, but later when I discovered the original pulp covers I realised that I much preffered those images of the man of bronze.

Mark,
Your URL -> http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/1133
takes me to a generic Yahoo.com page. Nothing there about Doc Savage at all.:(
I too like the original pulp covers.
Does anyone know if there is a comprehensive set of the original pulp covers in jpg (or other) images?
thanks
Tony

All covers as thumbnails. Click to see a larger version - some are pretty small.

Next link doesn't have all the covers, but most are large and clean.
https://pulpcovers.com/tag/docsavage/
This link has a lot of the pulp covers with the type and logo removed.

Final link is all the bantam covers.
