Here are the Doc Savage copyright rules...(And there are maybes included in them.)

US - all under copyright. No legal E-books released of the orginal Doc Savages. Some of the recent Will Murray versions are available on e-books. See various e-books sellers.

Life + 70 countries EU and many others...Too long to list. All under copyright. No legal E-books released that I know of. 159 wiil become PD on Jan 1, 2030. A few will become PD (9, I think) in 2021, some others in 2026. The last ones will become PD in 2066. (Ryer Johnson wrote 3, and died in 1995.)

Life + 50 - Around 170 are already PD, the rest going PD at various time ending 2046.

(Maybes - Some jurisdiction give dofferent length copyright protections for works for hire. All Doc Savages were works for hire, however sometimes the copyight will revert from work-for-hire to standard author copyright when the name of the author of a work-for-hire is attributed. You legal mileage may vary...)

(Somewhere around here I did the breakdown, a few years ago. I'm too lazy to look it up...)

(I looked it up - so sue...)
