The '87 mini-series is how I was introduced to Doc so his outfit from it looms large in my head when I picture him but yeah blown up shirt is 100% his normal look. mercenarynuker posted:The whole pants sitch here.

I've always wondered what the deal was with Doc's hair. The Planetary version likewise had the same baffling thing going on, like is he wearing a metal hairpiece, what's going on there?

I think it's like Harry Osborn's hair and you just shouldn't think about it. But with Doc it looks like something that happened in the '60's. He certainly had a regular head of hair in the 30's and wikipedia says James Bama was responsible for updating Doc's look with the exaggerated widow's peak for the novel's which got transalted to the 60's comic:    It's quite the look

Description from the opening of the first Doc Savage story, “The Man of Bronze”: “This looked like the head and shoulders of a man, sculptured in hard bronze. It was a startling sight, that human bust. The lines of the features, the unusually high forehead, the mobile and muscular, but not too-full mouth, the lean cheeks, denoted a power of character seldom seen. The bronze of the hair was a little dark than the bronze of the features. The hair was straight, and lay down tightly as a metal skullcap. A genius at sculpture might have made it.”

Synthbuttrange posted:early marvel was kinda weirdly breathless about all new technology stuff. like TRANSISTORS WOW HOLY poo poo With transistors specifically I can actually see exactly how they got there. Like, pop-sci press at the time also contained a lot of HOLY poo poo TRANSISTORS, and transistors are often colloquially described as "electrical amplifiers". Which is true, in the electrical engineering sense -- you hook up a large power source and a small signal to a transistor and you get a large signal out. The problem is that to the layperson, an "amplifier" is just something that makes signals bigger, like the amp that turns the small signals from your electric guitar into the large signals blowing out your speakers because of your lovely sound mixing. Not a lot of thought goes into the fact that you need two inputs, the signal and the power, which the amp combines to get the powerful signal. And like, I feel like this still isn't super well understood today, let alone 60 years ago. So you get Tony Stark's "transistorized electromagnet" that lets him mangle a bank vault using an AA cell, because transistors are amplifiers! This is a recurring theme right up through the red-and-gold era: Iron Man running low on power and needing to plug into a normal-rear end wall outlet to recharge.

It was ridiculous but I gotta say, when I did my big Iron Man vol. 1 read-through it was funny being able to relate to it in a way in the smartphone and laptop era, remembering the last-minute saves in weird places to keep a charge going.

I read somewhere that Jim Bama owned a real shredded shirt for his models to wear when he was drawing the Doc paperback covers, which is why the shirt looks so similar from cover to cover. The skullcap look was definitely Bama's work. Doc on the original pulp covers had normal-looking hair:

I honestly don't know anything about the character, but it seemed to me that he shielded himself (and it's not really shown), everything went dark, and he assumed wood went through his shield and he was knocked out. Flip the page and it's his kid who darkened the area to surprise him? Maybe I need to read his tie-in issue...
