Doc Savage #6                                          Magazine
Cover by: Ken Barr

Doc Savage, AKA…Clark Savage, Jr. (his real name) is a physician, surgeon, scientist, adventurer, inventor, explorer, researcher, and a musician. A team of scientists assembled by his father deliberately trained his mind and body to near-superhuman abilities almost from birth, giving him great strength and endurance, a photographic memory, a mastery of the martial arts, and vast knowledge of the sciences. Doc is also a master of disguise and an excellent imitator of voices. “He rights wrongs and punishes evildoers. A mix of Sherlock Holmes’ deductive abilities, Tarzan’s outstanding physical abilities, Craig Kennedy’s scientific education, and Abraham Lincoln’s goodness… and you have the heroic-adventurer character, Doc Savage!

Mystery in the desert: the sky has been stolen over Plainville, Utah, leaving the town’s population dead by suffocation. Doc Savage and Renny race to the scene to investigate and find, along with the authorities that the town’s banks were looted—by crooks with enough strength to tear the doors off the vaults. The only clue is an Egyptian ankh, ironically a symbol of life, recently stolen from New York’s Museum of Natural History. Later, the same fate befalls another Utah town, looted by demi-gods in the guise of the Egyptian pantheon. In New York, the aides discover a link: Professor Jonathan Wilde was dismissed from the Museum for his fanatical espousal of controversial theories on pyramid power. Doc tries to contact Renny, who has been investigating at the Museum but receives no answer. Doc and Monk, with Monk’s secretary Monica, head to the Museum, where they battle a super strong mummy who turns out to be a hypnotized Renny in disguise. Meanwhile Monica is captured by the Egyptian gods to be the Bride of Horus. Ham witnesses the abduction from the Autogyro and alerts Doc. After a violent battle, Doc manages to subdue one of the gods, Sebek, and stop their use of a dark beam to steal the air from New York by blowing up one of their dirigibles. The “god” turns out to be an ordinary crook, his strength enhanced by technology and other artificial means. Doc and the Amazing Five head for the pyramids in Egypt, which the “gods” have converted into a device to focus and increase the strength of anyone subjected to it, in this case, Monica, drugged into becoming Hathor, Wife of Horus in the Egyptian pantheon. Doc and company do battle with their powerful foes, Doc taking on the leader Horus—actually the mad Professor Wilde—and an overload in the power chamber creates a massive explosion. Doc and the aides manage to escape, along with Monica, subdued by several rounds of mercy bullets. Back in New York, Doc is experimenting with pyramid power and Monica settles Monk’s and Ham’s feud over her—by picking up one in each hand.
