List of Doc Savage novels

Original Pulps and Bantam Reprints


Doc Savage stories, 181 in total, first appeared in Conde Nast's Doc Savage Magazine pulps in the 1930s to 1940s. Most stories were written by Lester Dent under the house name "Kenneth Robeson".

Bantam Books reprinted all the stories from the 1960s to the 1990s, but not in the original publication order. They started as single volumes with numbers (BB nn) and included the never-published The Red Spider as #95. As the stories got shorter, Bantam combined double novels with numbers (BDN nnn), and finally Doc Savage Omnibuses with four or five stories without numbers (DSO nn).
