I'm about halfway through Gods of Manhattan now, and you're totally right about the good story being outdone by the great setting. I don't know that it has to be only pulp of the classic era that's the source for all of it though - when I see Doc Savage + Superman + Monkey Butler, I'm happy to call it Tom Strong.
