Film background
Based on the classic pulp novels by Lester Dent (writing as Kenneth Robeson), Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze follows Clark “Doc” Savage Jr., a physician, scientist, adventurer, and polymath hero who, alongside his team of five assistants, battles villains with a mix of brains, brawn, and 1930s flair. Though the 1975 adaptation met mixed reviews on release, the film has since developed a cult following as a nostalgic tribute to the pulp adventure era that heavily influenced later heroes like Indiana Jones and countless comic book characters.

Poster design
The Japanese first release poster is especially eye-catching for its board-game-style design on the front, with sequential stills and illustrations depicting Doc Savage’s adventures, action set pieces, and romance. The reverse side features a bold monochrome design with Ron Ely as Doc Savage at center, surrounded by profiles of his five key companions: Monk, Ham, Renny, Long Tom, and Johnny. This two-sided format makes it a unique collectible, showcasing both promotional and character-driven artwork.
