A source should be cited for the specualtion about Wylie's religious and other personal views. Also sources should be cited for the Superman and Doc Savage connections. If this is unsourced, it is subject to dfeletion as original research, which i suspect is is not. DES (talk) 16:39, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: "Inspired, and Inspired by"

"Hugo Danner is also considered to be the inspiration for the Pulp Hero Doc Savage." this line is incorrect.

"The Savage Gentleman" (1932) inspired the pulp-fiction and radio character "Doc Savage". this line from the Philip Gordon Wylie entry is correct.

the different powers and actions of the two wylie characters make this obvious.

i would not presume to edit the page

- i leave that to the author.
