Who is Long Tom?

Long Tom is one of Doc Savage's core team of five adventuring aides, a brilliant electrical engineer whose pale, sickly appearance belies his formidable expertise and toughness. He regularly joins Doc Savage on globe-spanning missions alongside Monk, Ham, Renny, and Johnny.

A Golden Age stalwart born in the pages of Doc Savage Comics in 1941, Long Tom has spent nearly seven decades woven into the larger-than-life world surrounding the legendary Doc Savage. Created by Henry Kiefer, this character keeps exceptional company — sharing adventures with Doc Savage himself alongside the likes of Monk, Ham, Renny, and Johnny across titles like Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze and Doc Savage Annual. It's a remarkable run for any character, stretching from the height of the Golden Age all the way to 2010, a testament to the enduring appeal of the pulp-flavored universe he inhabits. For collectors and fans of classic adventure comics, Long Tom is a rewarding piece of that storied legacy worth tracking down.
