Today's the 100th anniversary of the birth of prolific artist James Bama! His over 60 Doc Savage covers were a prime reason for the popularity of the Bantam Books reprints. #docsavage #pulp #adventure #artist #art #paperback

I've always preferred the hair on this one over the helmet look.

I agree. I've explained elsewhere how Bantam Doc Savage got that godawful haircut and I get why, but it was never my kind of look.

It was the guy who was editing the books. He read in the pulps Doc had a metal headpiece that looked like his hair. So the editor had Bama do The Man of Bronze cover again with that widows peak.
