Between that signature haircut, the bulging muscles and the beautifully painted paperback covers, Doc Savage seemed like a superhero to me growing up. I think he would he would have been right at home in a JLA adventure.

I feel the same way. In fact, I've been slowly collecting (mostly used) Doc Savage novels for the past few years. Those painted covers are always thrilling to see, and the stories are fun and exciting.
Well, then, allow me to make it unanimous. I remember reading a Bantam paperback where Doc Savage and his Fearless Five took on a lost colony of Vikings. And it was just as cool as the cover art that had attracted me to it! The artist in question being James Bama* I believe.
*No relation to Al. ;-)
Wow. Stupendous cover! Excellent job!!
Somewhere on the net is a guy who does for Doc Savage what you do with comics in general. Too lazy to look for it right now but some good stuff there.
Yep James Bama on the paperback reprints and Walter M. Baumhofer did the first pulp magazine cover in 1933 and many more.
He’d be really appropriate in a Bronze Age story with the Dick Dillin JLA.
Visually knocks it out of the park. (Title is pretty nifty too.) The Doc would fit right into the JLA.
Hey, idea! What about all the 'early' superheroes forming their own Justice Gang (to coin a phrase)? The Shadow, the Phantom, the Green Hornet...
...and no, I haven't forgotten him, the Yellow Kid!
I can't believe that the only live action depiction we have is that god-awful 1975 feature film.
Let's face it the best version of Doc has got to be the 1984 movie Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!
So sad. 😞
Why couldn't they just adopt the name of Richard "The Avenger" Benson's group (Justice, Inc.)?
Doc Savage, the Shadow and the Avenger did call themselves Justice, Inc in the comic of the same name published by Dynamite Entertainment back in 2015 (I think it was the date).
I disagree. It was not and Academy Award movie but it is way better than many of the comics book movies that came out after it. And I would go so far and say it is better than any Marvel movie after Endgame (except the Spider-Man movies).
I thought Carl Weathers would have made a great Doc Savage.
Darn it! I always confuse that with a continuation of DC's First Wave.
Although, the 1989 Bat-flick with Michael Keaton undeniably blows it out of the water.
Or, failing that, the GI Joe Adventure Team Commander.
Doc is somewhat like Mr Terrific in this group. Doc & the Bat...?.
