Clark Savage Jr.

Few names carry the pulp-era thunder quite like Clark Savage Jr., a Golden Age stalwart who first strode onto the page in Street & Smith's Shadow Comics #1 in 1940 — making him a genuine artifact of comics' earliest, most adventurous chapter. Over a remarkable publishing span stretching nearly five decades, he turns up across Doc Savage Comics, Shadow Comics, and Doc Savage, a body of work that speaks to real staying power in the Street & Smith universe. His issues place him in vivid company — Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Blodgett Mayfair, Monk, Jim Wilson, and Ajax the Sun Man among them — and at least one of his appearances carries the weight of a true collector's key. With twelve catalog appearances and a lineage rooted in the Golden Age, Clark Savage Jr. is a character for readers who love comics when they still smelled like pulp magazines and anything felt possible.
