Doc Savage In French
Click here to see the history and future enhancements
I am planning for this site.
Links
Here are a few links for great sites :
Doc Savage links
-
Chris Kalb's 86th
Floor. My favorite and a most comprehensive site. Chris used to host
the very pages you are currently visiting. Without him, you would certainly
not be looking at these pages.
-
Jeff Sines' Doc
Savage Web site used to have all the pulps and paperback covers, as
well as tons of other goodies. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be online anymore. You can however again join the Doc Savage Web Ring
-
Do not miss Cat's Page
for Doc Savage in French site. While my site presents mostly factual
information on Doc in French, Cat's site has more literary information.
GO THERE !
-
Christian Vanderhaegen has started the ambitious project of translating in french all the adventures that had not been translated yet by Marabout or Lefrancq. You can find the results of his work, in chronological order on his site.
-
Rob Smalley's The
Supreme Adventurer has listings for all foreign editions of Doc savage
known to man. This site makes me really jealous, as I originally wanted
to do the same, but gave up for I could not find enough information. And
Rob has cover scans for a lot of these alien editions.
-
Thomas Rau's Das
ist Doc Savage (this is Doc savage) is a comprehensive page about german
editions of Doc Savage. There are even more of them than there are french
ones and Thomas has done quite a good job putting all this information
together.
Bob Morane links
Bob Morane is a french hero that has many connections to Doc Savage.
First, they both are always on the road, trying to save widows and orphans,
and also sometimes the world itself. Second, they have been published in
the same collection already three times (Marabout, Corgi, Lefrancq). Third,
they amount to approximately the same number of stories (~ 190).
Bob Morane was created by the belgian writer Henri Vernes (pen name)
in 1953, and new stories continue to be published. Bob Morane has been
published in a lot of foreign languages (14 !) and an animated series has
revived his myth in 1998.
-
Bob Morane's forum site keeps all fans informed.
-
Dominique Samson's official site has a lot of stuff, including listings of known foreign editions,
cover scans and articles from Bob's fanzine "Reflet". Dominique is also
operating a Bob Morane mailing list.
-
Parazythum's attic is an unconventional and lively site. One of Gilles' objective is to gather all the different Bob Morane cover pictures - so check his site frequently to see how far his quest is progressing.
Doctor Who links
Another great Doc'. Yes, I love collecting books. As Doc and Bob only
run a meager 190 stories each, a whole set of Doctor Who novelisations,
New and Missing Adventures comprises more than 300 books, not including
all the non-fictional stuff.
-
The Mother of all sites, Dr Siobahn Morgan's Doctor
Who Home Page. Siobahn maintains the FAQ and the reference FTP site.
The site has lots of sorted links, making it my favourite starting point.
-
Output Gallifrey is one of the most comprehensive Dr Who site on the Web.
Red Dwarf links
Another english cult SF series : I am also a great fan of Red Dwarf.
Only 4 novels have been published, so completing my collection was an easy
tasks..
-
Let the smeg be with you. One of the most complete sites,
Red Dwarf gives a complete view over that cult series.
ELCA link
LK ? What's that ? It is the company that employs me. ELCA develops
software systems in a many domains, mostly specifically tailored for our
customers needs. ELCA 's headquarters are located in Lausanne, in the french
speaking part of Switzerland.
