Doc Savage Vs. Doctor Doom

 


I have to imagine that Victor Von Doom holds a grudge against Doc Savage, ever since he stormed his castle with The Bondsmen back in STF #3790.  How will Savage fare against the malevolent monarch now that he's all on his own?

Wow. Excellent job. Great cover.

Still glitchy, though.

As for Doc Savage being all on his own? Hardly! Nobody as big on team loyalty as Batman would allow a fellow Bondsman to languish in a Latverian dungeon. Not without having concocted several break-out scenarios already! My one hope is that any eventual sequel sees one such scenario being enacted by Batman and two new Bondsmen: the Spirit and the Rocketeer..

At least the Bondsmen had fun storming the castle.

That might be why this website was down all day, yesterday. Batman was hacking Doom's database trying to get weak points for the Great Escape!

It was down? Not for me.

yep, on Friday, it stayed at zero.

Would Wonder Woman go after Von Doom on her own??

Ross said...

I don' know what you mean by staying at zero. Wonder Woman faced Dr. Doom way back in STF #156: https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2012/07/wonder-woman-vs-doctor-doom.html

It refused to publish any of my posts for twelve straight hours (11AM-11PM)!

He means the number of comments that got successfully published prior to whenever you posted this latest Falcon/Metamorpho team-up. Which was literally zero!

Carycomic said...

@Anon: well, I stayed up till 2:00 AM trying my luck, to no avail. So, given that Ross posted today's cover @ 5:50 AM, service evidently wasn't restored until somewhere in that three-hour ball park.

Ross said...

I was so busy at work I did not notice. Glad it's working correctly now and hopefully it was a one time blogger glitch.

Bob Greenwade said...

Yeah, I think the comments outage was probably Blogger-wide. I don't know, since this is the only thing on Blogger that I still follow.

Fingers crossed! :-)

Doom does not stand a chance against Doc Savage. This is fitting as Will Murray, the man who continued Doc Savage's adventures in books, has passed on 8/24/26.

Carycomic said...

RIP, Mr. Murray. :-(

Did You Know?_ Among the crime-fighting 'mystery men' whose activities overlapped in time with those of Doc Savage during the 1930s (and in this case were published by the same company as his, Street & Smith) was a vigilante known as 'The Whisperer'... who was secretly Police Commissioner James Gordan!

Simreeve said...

Oops! "Gordon", with an 'o' rather than an 'a'.

Sadly, even Moonstone and Dynamite Entertainment never adapted him for their comics. And they've done some pretty good adaptations, in general, of those pulp-fiction characters!

Richard "The Spider" Wentworth in particular.

Simreeve said...

That's probably because DC would have complained about his secret identity.

Carycomic said...

I don't see why. The Whisperer was created by Street and Smith at least three years before the publication of Detective Comics (v.1) #27! And Conde Nast still has intellectual property ownership rights of all Street and Smith characters (including the Whisperer's secret identity).

English translation? They have as much right to the "Jim Gordon" name as DC does (if not more so).
