Octavo, thirty-two volumes, pictorial wrappers uniformly bound in green cloth. A complete file of 181 issues in bound volumes. Doc Savage was a precursor to the modern super hero. Clark "Doc" Savage, Jr. was trained from birth with a rigorous regimen resulting in extraordinary strength and intelligence. He never killed unless necessary, he had scientific gadgets, a headquarters and a secret base (a fortress of solitude). The stories combined mystery, adventure and some science fiction. He also had a team of five experts in various fields to assist in his adventures. His stories were extremely popular during the pulp era and then found a new audience in the 1960s-70s when the series was reprinted in paperback. The novels were written using the house pseudonym of Kenneth Robeson, the main author was Lester Dent who wrote nearly 80% of the novels. Other author contributors as Robeson included William Bogart, Alan Hathway, Harold Davis, Laurence Donovan and W. Ryerson Johnson. There were many excellent contributors to the short stories which rounded out the magazine with authors such as Steve Fisher, E. Hoffman Price, Q. Patrick, John D. MacDonald, Bruno Fischer, Frank Herbert, William Lindsay Gresham, to name a few. Street and Smith publishing executive Henry Ralston and editor John Nanovic established the initial idea for Clark "Doc" Savage, Jr. - .a brawny 'superman,' a master of many fields-surgeon, mineralogist, engineer, inventor, linguist. His skin was a glowing bronze.his hair was a matching hue, and so too his eyes, resembling gold flake. He would be known as the Man of Bronze."- Server, Encyclopedia of Pulp Fiction Writers, p.81. "Doc Savage was intended to be an adventure character, but under Lester Dent's imaginative manipulations he became something more - the first superhero and an inspiration for countless pulp, comic-book, and television characters." - Cook, Mystery, Detective and Espionage Magazines, pp. 521-527. "The enormously wealthy Doc Savage headquartered in a fantasticated New York with his five sidekicks, who specialize in various crafts and sciences at the borderline of sf devotes his life to combating criminal conspiracies, almost all masterminded by the kind of charismatic villain later given definitive form by Ian Fleming in the James Bond books. Doc Savage himself clearly influenced the creation of Superman." - SFE online. A note on artists, Walter Baumhofer contributed the initial look to the character with his striking cover painting through late 1936. Other artists include R[obert] G[eorge] Harris, Emery Clarke, Modest Stein, and George Rozen. An ideal collection for an institution. [Reference: Tymm and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 183-185]. Tanning to pages of all, some minor losses throughout, front and back covers present, bindings are bright with the exception of volumes 10-13 which are quite faded. All issues trimmed for binding. Overall, the magazines are very good to nearly fine. The complete list report upon request. [Note for shipping, extra funds required]. (34571).

Octavo, 36 issues in six volumes, profusely illustrated, original publisher's pictorial green cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold, rear panel blind stamped. The first 36 issues (six volumes) of this monthly magazine, running from February 1892 through January 1895. THE IDLER was one of the popular magazines that sprang up in the early 1890s, along with several others including THE STRAND MAGAZINE and PEARSON'S MAGAZINE, capitalizing on a confluence of favorable trends: the advent of cheap, high-quality printing in the late 1880s courtesy of the Linotype machine; widespread literacy in England courtesy of the National Education Bill of 1870; the emergence in the late 1880s of vibrant new authors (Kipling, Haggard, Doyle, etc.) and popular fiction genres (the detective story, the lost race romance, etc.); plentiful advertising revenues due to the lack of serious competition from any other medium; and a general economic background of prosperity during the glow of the late Victorian period. THE IDLER was founded by Robert Barr, a Scot who grew up in Canada and established himself as a journalist in the U.S. (Detroit) before returning to Great Britain. His business partner was William Dunkerley (a.k.a. John Oxenham). They wanted a "name" writer to act as the principal editor; after considering Twain, Barrie and Kipling, they settled on Jerome K. Jerome, then riding a crest with the success of his humorous THREE MEN IN A BOAT. The idea may have been to have Jerome act as a figurehead, but he dove enthusiastically into his editorial duties and his competitive/collaborative relationship with Barr led to a fruitful ferment in the magazine's pages. As a writer (like W. W. Jacobs and Barry Pain, who were also frequent contributors to the magazine), Jerome was known principally for humor but he also wrote significant amounts of very good horror and supernatural material. Barr himself was another versatile author of popular fiction (working mainly in the adventure and mystery genres). Both men contributed material as well as editorial guidance to THE IDLER, and they were joined by some of the leading fiction writers of the period: Robert Louis Stevenson, A. Conan Doyle, Israel Zangwill, Marie Corelli, Grant Allen, Anthony Hope, Eden Phillpotts and W. L. Alden. The fiction, which tended towards the generic and sensational, was balanced by articles and essays, some serious, some playful. Lively artwork and layouts acted as a leavening for the whole. The magazine was profitable from the start and had a good run, ending in 1911. Jerome and Barr were among the last in the Victorian tradition of author-editors, a tradition that included Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, Mary Braddon and (in the U.S.) William Dean Howells and Bret Harte. Ashley, The Age of the Storytellers: British Popular Fiction Magazines, 1880-1950, pp. 93-100. Lawrence Solomon book label affixed at the upper left corner of the front paste-down in each volume.
