In "Burn, Savage, Burn," Doc Savage faces a global threat with a personal twist: Shoshanna discovers she’s a distant kin to alien agents manipulating world powers, giving her a rare ability to sense their presence. With Anton and Doc racing across continents, the trio races to warn U.S. and Russian leaders before the world teeters on the brink—written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Rod Whigham, with inks by Steve Montano, colors by Anthony Tollin, and letters by Bill Oakley. The cover, by Adam and Andy Kubert, captures the tension of a world on edge.
