While leafing through the February 2013 issue of Vanity Fair* over the weekend, “The Proust Questionaire,” a regular feature of the magazine, caught my eye. The subject was Ed Koch, former mayor of New York City…
Who is your favorite hero of fiction?
Doc Savage, man of bronze, who was very popular during my adolescent years.
It’s too bad that Koch died shortly after this issue was published. It would have been interesting to hear more about his pulp experiences.
* Vanity Fair was originally published from around 1913 through 1936 by Condé Nast, which bought Street & Smith Publications, the publisher of Doc Savage, in 1959.
