His scale may be larger than what most people prefer, but he was different than anything before him.

I'm a Doc Smith fan and have his Lensmen series. He's one of the pulp writers that I mentioned. He definitely doesn't translate well into this PC age.
Pulp fiction overall had a style that transcended genre. Both the Lensman series and the Doc Savage books had a very similar feel to them.
