THE GHOSTBREAKERS

DOC SAVAGE (1933-1993)
by Kenneth Robeson (largely Lester Dent)

"Say, I'd give my good right arm to see that guy Doc Savage work, just once. They say he's a ring-tailed wizard."
                                                                                                                     --Unnamed Detective

Clark Savage Jr. and his five amazing aids, Monk, Ham, Johnny, Renny and Long Tom, form a group who faced madmen and weird phenomena as a matter of their daily adventures. Though none of the novels features actual supernatural creatures the canon is a good example of a "false monster" series. Not all the novels listed here have supernatural-appearing villains.
