I read many of the Doc Savage stories as a kid. Saw the Ron Ely movie, too.
I still have about 75 of the Doc Savage paperbacks boxed up in the garage, Loved them as a kid.
Ditto ... in fact I still have my paperbacks here. Sometimes I think, rather whimsically, that I'm living my life for the benefit of some "punk kid" that I'll never actually meet, and who will never appreciate what I've created here.
