DOC SAVAGE v2 #1 (August, 1975)
By Doug Moench & John Buscema
APPEARANCES:
Doc Savage (Clark Savage Jr.), Monk (Lt. Col. Andrew Blodgett Mayfair), Ham (Brig. Gen. Theodore Marley Brooks), Long Tom (Maj. Thomas J. Roberts), Renny (Col. John Renwick), Johnny (William Harper Littlejohn), Silver Ziggurat (Thomas J. Bolt, jealous architect), Winston Tremaine (famous architect, also in fb), Angel Tremaine (Winston’s sister & Thomas’ fiancée, also in fb)
FLASHBACK:

SYNOPSIS:
Angel Tremaine tells Doc Savage her brother is in trouble, so Doc Savage and his pals follow clues left by Winston and figure out that Angel’s fiancée is the villain, jealous of Winston’s success.
NOTE:
This is the only Doc Savage story from both volumes and either guest appearance that doesn’t provide a date (except for maybe DOCSAV2 4, which I don’t have). Also, Chris Claremont interviews director George Pal about the Doc Savage movie.

NOTE:
Happens over several days (and continents) in June, 1933. Unfortunately, Pat Savage appears here already owning her beauty salon, which has to happen after DOCSAV 7-8, which was noted as happening in January, 1934. I’ll just pretend this issue meant to say June, 1934 instead of 1933.
