About this author

Kenneth Robeson was the house name used by Street and Smith Publications as the author of their popular character Doc Savage and later The Avenger. Many authors wrote under this name, though most Doc Savage stories were written by the author Lester Dent:

William G. Bogart
Evelyn Coulson
Harold A. Davis
Lawrence Donovan
Philip José Farmer
Alan Hathway
W. Ryerson Johnson
Will Murray
Ron Goulart

All 24 of the Avenger stories were written by Paul Ernst, using the Robeson house name. Confusingly, Robeson was credited on the cover of The Avenger magazine as "the creator of Doc Savage."

“Let me strive every moment of my life to make myself better and better, to the best of my ability, that all may profit by it.
Let me think of the right and lend all my assistance to those who need it, with no regard for anything but justice.
Let me take what comes with a smile, without loss of courage.
Let me be considerate of my country, of my fellow citizens and my associates in everything I say and do.
Let me do right to all, and wrong no man.”
Kenneth Robeson, Man of Bronze
