\"'The<\/a>It’s early 2019 and so we take a look at all of The Bronze Gazette<\/a><\/em> issues from 2018, as I’ve done for previous years. Subscriptions are taken for a year’s set of issues.<\/p>\n

So here are issues #81 and 82 of this long-running Doc Savage<\/a><\/strong> fanzine.<\/p>\n

\u2022 #81 (Spring 2018)<\/strong> has a cover by artist Dan Brereton<\/strong>, along with an article by the artist on how it came about. (Prints of the cover are available.) The recent Doc comicbook series, The Ring of Fire<\/em>, is the subject of two items. One is a review; the other is an extended version of author’s commentary from the trade paperback collection.<\/p>\n

Doc researcher Dafydd Neal Dyar<\/strong> writes about Doc’s cousin, Pat Savage<\/strong>, which is available in his collection of articles, The Savage Dyaries<\/em>, now out in paperback. From researcher Julian Puga<\/strong>, we get a look at Satan Black<\/em> and where it should fit in the Doc chronology. And from Art Sippo<\/strong>, there is a reprint of his afterward on the Titan edition of A Feast Unknown<\/em>, which helps explain this work and how it fits into Philip Jos\u00e9 Farmer<\/strong>‘s overall pulp works.<\/p>\n

Finally, we get a short (one-page) article on “Doc Has a Gun!” that looks at the idea of Doc being shown on covers with a gun. While there is a good listing of the items Doc has on the Bantam covers, some are left out: Doc with a “space gun” on the covers for Green Death<\/em>, The Freckled Shark<\/em>, and Omnibus #4<\/em>; plus Doc having some kind of gun on the cover of The Land of Fear<\/em>, having a hypodermic needle on Resurrection Day<\/em>, flashlight on Spook Hole<\/em>. On the Escape from Loki<\/em> cover, he has a .45 automatic pistol.<\/p>\n

\"'The<\/a>\u2022 #82 (Fall 2018)<\/strong> focuses on the latest (and maybe last?) new Doc, Mr. Calamity<\/em>. We get a new cover that has the two recent covers done as a Bantam Doc Double. Tied to this is a review of The Valley of Eternity<\/em> by Duane Spurlock<\/strong> and an article by Will Murray<\/strong> on the writing these works.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the issue is a tribute to the late artist Ron Wilbur<\/strong>, a look at PJF’s Escape from Loki<\/em> by Murray, another look at PJF by Christopher Paul Carey<\/strong>, and another of Julian Paga’s research articles. This time Puga looks at the real-life events that may have inspired The Fiery Menace<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bronze Gazette<\/em> subscriptions are sold in three-issue cycles. #83 will conclude the current subscription cycle, and will come out sometime this year, after which we can subscribe for the next three issues. I’m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
