"Judge Holden – whose description as a completely hairless, omnicompetent, ultimately unkillable giant may deliberately play on and undermine popular images of Doc Savage – is a figure of such supernatural vacancy that his desacralizing of the world can be seen as a paradigm representation of the inner narrative of modern horror wrought to its proper uttermost" (cited from the SFE3 entry on the author)
