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.

re: "Inspired, and Inspired by"

[edit]

"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.
at wikipedia, everyone is the author. I wrote most of this article, but I did not include the line in question. It's wikipedia: feel FREE to contribute if you know something more.

Can the comic book info be toned down and simply be put into a single section?

[edit]

Throughout the entire article, it can't go from one section to another without at least a mention of a comic book. This is really annoying and adds nothing to the article itself, which should be about the novel. Even the synopsis can't finish without someone having to write down a Superman reference and that doesn't add anything to the story of the novel itself. There should be a trivia or inspiration section to put all these comic book references in there, instead of putting them at random places throughout the article.--The Real Iron Tiger (talk) 00:54, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is the novel in the public domain?

[edit]

The article seems to treat it as such but never says so. 2601:188:CD7F:F630:21:60B4:8EBA:D0BB (talk) 19:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
