Bill Smith

A supporting player from the early 1990s Millennium Publications run of Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, Bill Smith stepped onto the page in 1991 courtesy of creators Mark Ellis and Darryl Banks. His three catalogued appearances place him squarely in the Copper/Modern Age revival of the legendary pulp hero's world, sharing those adventures with a remarkable cast that includes classic Doc Savage stalwarts like Monk, Ham, and Long Tom, as well as the formidable villain John Sunlight. Brief in tenure but embedded in a genuinely exciting corner of comics history, Bill Smith is a testament to the rich ensemble storytelling that made this short-lived series worth tracking down.
