Doc Savage: El Hombre de Oro

"El hombre de oro" (The Golden Man) Kenneth Robeson's Doc Savage serial appears in this Spanish-language pulp magazine. The narrative follows two of Doc's operatives, Lieutenant Colonel Monk Mayfair and Brigadier General Ham Brooks, aboard the ocean liner *Virginia Dare* en route to New York from Europe during wartime. While on deck, they observe an anomalous black five-pointed star with a red glow suspended over the sea. Beneath it, the ocean begins emitting an extraordinary luminescence. A lifeboat retrieves a naked golden-skinned man floating in the water. The rescued man is brought aboard, where he claims to have no name, explaining that the sea is his mother and night his father. The ship's doctor reports the stranger has made inexplicably accurate personal revelations about his life and hidden intentions. Supernatural and mysterious elements predominate as strange phenomena—the glowing water, the vanished star, the uncanny stranger—accumulate without explanation.
