Series: Fictional biographies.
Series: Wold Newton Universe.
DEDICATION: "This biography is dedicated to Lester Dent, the Revelator from Missouri, and his wife, Norma Gerling Dent."
COVER TEXT:
Philip José Farmer, biographer of Lord Greystoke (or Tarzan, as he is better known), has turned his superb research and narrative skills to one of the most famous heroes of our time: Doctor Clark Savage, Jr., popularly known as Doc Savage, the bronze champion of justice. Philip José Farmer has collected all the facts that shed light on Doc Savage including his family background (he is related to such stalwarts as Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes and James Bond), his devilish opponents and his amazing inventions, including radar, shark repellent and an anesthetic gas grenade which helped capture King Kong. Together with other data and brilliant deductions, Mr Farmer offers the most authoritative account of this remarkable character we are ever likely to read...
