The copper toned man was everything you could dream of--explorer, adventure, fighter, millionaire, scientist, engineer, doctor. He was Doc Savage! When I was a boy, I must have read ten or twenty books of his continuing adventures. I was thrilled every time I finished a book. He was supposed to be the perfect human specimen, and that made a big impression on me--no superpowers, but mentally and physically trained to be the best. Brought the bad guys to justice. Grace under pressure. Shunned fame and reeward. Pulp fiction can have a lasting effect on kids, and whenever I look back, the memories of that by-gone era always bring a smile to my face...
