The Premise
•Is Doc Savage’s real name Clark Savage Jnr or James Clarke Wildman Jnr?
•
•Are there other members of the Savage Family ?
Recently, I had to visit the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to obtain documentation to acquire my passport for this trip.  In the envelope with my birth certificate was an assortment of photos and hand-drawn family tree containing the information.  All attempts to locate the source of this information have been unsuccessful. I have verified as much of the information as possible and present this information.

Often biographers disagree on details of their subject’s lives, most academic treatments of the man known as Doc Savage refer to him as Clark Savage Jnr, but Philip Jose Farmer’s biography refers to his true identity as James Clarke Wildman Jnr. Can these two stances be reconciled? To add further confusion to the issue Farmer also referred to Doc Savage’s father as being known as James Wilder.
