The Heritage of Doc Savage: Part One - Into the Silver Pyramid

by Dennis O’Neil, Adam Kubert, Andy Kubert, John Costanza, Petra Scotese, Mike Carlin

Aug 15, 1945 - Doc Savage meets with his men in a French restaurant near Times Square, in New York City. They have just returned from a mission behind enemy lines but now the war, World War II, is over and everyone is celebrating. Someone has targeted Doc and his men. They survive the attempt on their lives but one of them, Long Tom, gets shot and has to be taken to a hospital.

Doc and the other four fly south in his seaplane to the Hidden Valley. Savage suspects, correctly, that Dr. Wessel, a Nazi scientist, may be behind the attempt on their lives. They arrive and find that their headquarters has been infiltrated. The dead bodies of friends and foes, including Savage’s father-in-law, are strewn everywhere.
