[[Street & Smith Comics]] published comic book stories of Doc both in ''[[The Shadow]]'' comic and his own title. These started with ''Shadow Comics'' #1–3 (1940).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Benton |first1=Mike |title=Superhero Comics of the Golden Age: The Illustrated History |date=1992 |publisher=Taylor Publishing Company |location=Dallas |isbn=0-87833-808-X |url=https://archive.org/details/superherocomicso0000bent/page/180 |access-date=April 8, 2020 |pages=180–181}}</ref> In May 1940, the character moved to his own book, ''Doc Savage Comics''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Benton |first1=Mike |title=Superhero Comics of the Golden Age: The Illustrated History |date=1992 |publisher=Taylor Publishing Company |location=Dallas |isbn=0-87833-808-X |url=https://archive.org/details/superherocomicso0000bent/page/160 |access-date=April 8, 2020 |page=160}}</ref>  Originally, these stories were based on the pulp version, but with ''Doc Savage Comics'' #5 (1941), he was turned into a genuine superhero when he crashed in Tibet and was given a blue hood with a sacred [[ruby]] in the forehead that deflected bullets and [[hypnotism|hypnotized]] anyone who gazed into its mystical red light. These stories had a Doc (now known as "The Invincible") who bore little resemblance to the character in the pulps. This lasted through the end of ''Doc Savage Comics'' in 1943 after 20 issues, and briefly with his return to ''Shadow Comics'' in vol. 3, #10 (Jan. 1944). He would last until the final issue, vol. 9, #5 (1948), though did not appear in every one. He also appeared in ''[[Supersnipe]] Comics'' #9 (June 1943).
