The letters section features correspondence from Clark Savage Jr. (claiming to be the character's namesake and an aircraft designer), discussing Doc Savage chronology, the Spear of Longinus, and Japanese zaibatsu history; Norma Dent; Philip José Farmer; and others debating Doc's characterization during wartime, the 13th Floor laboratory, and Farmer's Lord of the Trees/Mad Goblin (Tarzan/Doc Savage pastiches). Editor Bill Laidlaw provides publishing deadlines and advertising rates for future issues.
