Stork Savage: It Crawls On All Fours: A Stork Savage Adventure.

Price: £10.00

Publisher: An Allen Reproduction: Modesto, CA.: 1996.

Seller ID: 48779

Binding: Card wrappers.

Condition: Fine (as new) copy.

28-page booklet. Dawn and Terry Allen were obviously big Doc Savage fans, - this little booklet is a celebration of the birth of their baby (with photos) but made out to look like a Doc Savage paperback. Cover art by Joe deVito. Very clever stuff (we did something similar, but not nearly on as grand a scale, or as stylish, when our first son was born in 1992 - we put a spoof entry in one of my, then, physical printed catalogues). For Doc Savage completists!
