In early 2026, we got a double issue of The Bronze Gazette<\/em>: No. 98\/99. Or maybe I should call it a flip issue.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>The same was done with No. 96\/97, which I missed posting on.<\/p>\n

The Bronze Gazette<\/em> is the premier Doc Savage<\/a><\/strong> fanzine, which was offered as a subscription for these \u201ctwo\u201d issues. The final issue, No. 100, will be coming out later this year, but will not be available by subscription. Instead, once it is ready, we can purchase it.<\/p>\n

No. 98 (February 2026)<\/strong>, with a cover by Ron Hill<\/a>, has five articles. From Tom Barnett<\/a><\/strong>, we get a look at the person who voiced Doc on his first radio show in 1934: Edwin Max<\/a><\/strong>. Craig McDonald<\/a><\/strong> provides an article on Monk<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s pet pig, Habeas Corpus<\/strong>. Will Murray<\/a><\/strong> does a deep dive into Doc\u2019s, or perhaps Dent\u2019s, mercy bullets. Courtney Rogers<\/a><\/strong> shares his interesting three-dimensional artwork based on Doc covers. And Aaron Sakulik<\/a><\/strong> examines the dish \u201clahm quishtah\u201d and provides a recipe.<\/p>\n

No. 99 (February 2016)<\/strong> has four articles under a cover that is a takeoff of a famous National Lampoon<\/em> cover. Julian Puga<\/a><\/strong> provides another of his articles, this time looking at information in certain stories that helps in dating them, as they have real-world inspirations. M.J. Morgan<\/a><\/strong> has an article on \u201cStreet & Smith\u2019s World\u2019s Finest,\u201d meaning Doc and The Shadow<\/a><\/strong>, as DC\u2019s World\u2019s Finest<\/em> featured Superman<\/a><\/strong> and Batman<\/a><\/strong>. Michael Spitzer<\/a><\/strong> tells us about a Doc Savage story he proposed to Cond\u00e9 Nast years ago that was not accepted. Steve Donoso<\/a><\/strong> asks whether or not the restored text in the Doc stories published by Sanctum Books<\/a> should be considered canon.<\/p>\n

Another great issue, with a lot of strong articles. I look forward to No. 100, but also dread it, as it will mark the end of this wonderful Doc Savage fanzine. It is sad to see it go. Physical fanzines are getting rarer, even if things like print-on-demand make them easier to produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
