(W) Lee Falk (A) Phil Davis From the creative mind of Lee Falk comes Mandrake the Magician! Created in 1934 with the story 'The Cobra.' Comics historian Don Markstein wrote, 'Some people say Mandrake the Magician, who started in 1934, was comics' first superhero.' Hermes Press is proud to continue their legacy of complete Lee Falk comic reprints, starting with the very first years of Mandrake. This first volume includes five stories, 'The Cobra' (June 11, 1934 - Nov. 24, 1934), 'The Hawk (Mandrake Meets Narda)' (Nov. 26, 1934 - Feb. 23, 1935), 'The Monster of Tanov Pass' (Feb. 25, 1935 - June 15, 1935), 'Saki, the Clay Camel' (June 17, 1935 - Nov. 2, 1935), and 'The Werewolf' (Nov. 4, 1935 - Feb. 1936). Strips from this issue are taken directly from King Feature's proofs. Included in the volume is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials.

(W) Lee Falk (A) Phil Davis Mandrake the Magician began as a daily strip on June 11, 1934, and whether Lee Falk knew it as a sophomore at the University of Illinois, he was making history. The strips presented in this series of reprints feature two staple characters in addition to the master magician: Lothar and Princess Narda (princess of the mythical European kingdom Cockaigne). Lothar appears within the first few days (June 14, 1934), and Narda is introduced in Mandrake's second adventure. Narda is similar to Flash Gordon's Dale Arden: beautiful, constantly in need of rescue, and the love interest of our hero. A Prince of the Seven Nations of Africa, Lothar is Mandrake's devoted servant, friend and companion. He is, 'the strongest man in the world,' and decked out in a fez, shorts, and a leopard shirt. This third volume of the series presents eight stories: 'Mandrake in Hollywood'; 'Sonny the Child Movie Star'; 'Mandrake and the Haunted House': 'Blozz the Chamption'; 'Mandrake in Love'; 'Visitors from Space'; 'The Deep South'; and 'Mandrake in Cockaigne.'

The daily strip ended after a 79-year run, and the Sunday strip, which started in 1935, ran for 68 years. Any fan of comic strips is almost certainly familiar with Falk?s other creation, The Phantom, which started in 1936 and continues to this day.?

Back in the 1950s, during the Cold War, every day beckoned with the possibility of the end of the world. Kids grew up in the shadow of bomb shelters and were treated to daily lessons at school on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. Americans were besieged by constant reminders to police our borders, to carefully watch out for 'foreigners' who might be spies, and to be ever vigilant in preparing to combat the 'red' menace of communism. Comic books of this era played on these fears with stories of atomic war and World War III. This volume reprints the complete runs of Atomic War! (#1-4, November, 1952-April, 1953) and World War III (#1-2, March, 1952 and May, 1953) and can be read merely as great action/adventure stories, classic 'war' comics or as an eerie, unanticipated commentary on today's tribulations.
