Doc Savage's oft-misunderstood "Crime College" Modern readers unanimously find Doc's Crime College pretty creepy and sinister. It's a place where bad guys either get an operation to remove their memories, or are retrained psychologically to hate crime (exactly what the Crime College did wasn't that clear, and the hints varied on the novel). To modern eyes, the Crime College sounds like brainwashing, or a lobotomy, or both. It doesn't exactly help Doc keeps the place a secret. Doc's Crime College crops up in other places in pop culture, never taken at face value, usually to talk about how disturbing the implications of it are. The B-Mod devices in "Squadron Supreme" were based on it, as was the memory wipe for criminals on Babylon 5.

And the Crime College is immortalized in literature thanks to a mention in Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood. " I've always said the Crime College is the single most misunderstood element of the entire Doc Savage canon. I find the view the Crime College is some behavior modification to be untrue.

Jean Giraud (Moebius) 'Blueberry's Stardom', by Jean Giraud, 1994. French comic artist Jean Giraud had one of the most interesting double lives in comic history. Under his own name (sometimes also the pseudonym "Gir"), he co-created the legendary western comic 'Blueberry' (1963-2012) with writer Jean-Michel Charlier. 'Blueberry' broke new ground in the genre with its highly realistic artwork and gritty, complex and adult storylines, which had an immeasurable impact on several other European western comics from the 1960s on.

Giraud also scripted another western series, 'Jim Cutlass' (1979, 1991-1999), drawn by Christian Rossi. Under the pseudonym Moebius, Giraud reinvented himself, making experimental science fiction and fantasy series like 'Arzach' (1975), 'The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius' (1976-1979) and 'L'Incal' (1980-1988). Early life Jean Henri Gaston Giraud was born in 1938 in Nogent-sur Marne, a township in the eastern suburbs of Paris. 'Juanita' (Âmes Vaillantes, 25 May 1958). 'Gare au Puma!!
