"Doc Savage and his oddly assorted team might be considered the progenotors of today's Fantastic Four and many other teams of superheroes—even Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandoes." — STAN LEE, creator of Spider-Man and The X-Men.  A daring experiment transmuted Clark Savage into the Herculean Man of Bronze. Welding five courageous soldiers of fortune into a Band of Iron, this invincible superman roves the world battling threats to humanity.  Not since the days of King Arthur and Robin Hood has mankind known greater crusaders for justice.
