In a previous column we listed the order Doc Savage novels were submitted to the publisher. We weren't finished. Below we have the five novels that were quickest "submitted to published" in days. We used the submitted date and subtracted it from the first day of the published month. (Yes, we know the novels weren't published on that day, but we needed a consistant date.)
After the Quickest Five we have the Slowest Five. They are the novels that languished the longest on the editor's desk.
Quickest Five

43 The Polar Treasure

Any one know what date in 1975 that
Ron Ely's film "Doc Savage" was
released in theaters in the USA?

Having recently read The Magic Forest, I'm not suprised it languished in a file for over a year.
I would be interested to know exactly why some of these accompanied The Magic Forest in lying around for almost two years.
