Is Doc Savage worth reading? Also talk about pulps here. I read Tarzan recently and am reading a book of Conan stories now, suddenly realizing what I was missing.
>>25502360I've tried to read it several times but it honestly feels like machine translated Chinese webnovels and rather than a renaissance man you get playground-tier NUH-UH bullshit that's little better than the Sherlock Holmes show.
>>25503238Ah. Yeah that doesn't sound good
>>25502360which should I read if Indiana Jones was my favorite movie as a kid?
Damn people, the Doc Savage stories are great pulp fun. It's too bad they camped up the movie version and turned a lot of people away from reading about Clark Savage, Jr.
>>25502360Yes definitely worth it. They are a ton of fun, well written for what they are.
Where’re my Spiderbros at?
>>25503364Gabriel Hunt caters to this niche in the pulp genre. Sadly the series won't be continued or finished.
>>25502360I've never read them, but I think Jose Farmer wrote a series of books where Tarzan, Doc Savage, and other pulp characters were all related in one giant family.
>>25504073What kind of things happen in his stories?
>>25502360The Farmer biography is fantastic and over the top fun to read.
>>25504073Geez. What a Shadow knockoff. I can see Adam Driver playing him with terrible jutting out fangs that interfere with his shpeejch
>>25502360>Is Doc Savage worth reading?Yes. They are very entertaining stories that are perfectly paced. At least the ones I have read.
