Author Description

The pulp era's greatest superhero returns in two imaginative novels by Laurence Donovan and Lester Dent writing as "Kenneth Robeson." What is the strange connection between a snowstorm in July and the death of a woman transformed into a shadow? Doc and Pat Savage journey to the Syrian Desert to unravel the strange secret of the "Murder Mirage" in the novel that inspired a 1940 Superman story by Jerry Siegel. Then, a mysterious animal pelt leads Doc and his aides through a crack in the Earth to the prehistoric dangers of "The Other World." Pulp historian Will Murray provides historical commentary and a tribute to the late Doc Savage writer Philip José Farmer. This deluxe pulp reprint features the classic color covers by Walter Baumhofer and Emery Clarke and all the original interior illustrations by Paul Orban. (Sanctum Books)
