Hardback. Condizione: New. 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.

Hardback. Condizione: New. 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 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. Mandrake the Magician whisked readers to exotic locales (often fictional amalgams of the Orient, the Middle East, India or Eastern Europe) and immersed them in extended narratives with memorable villains and a colorful support cast. 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. Comics historian Don Markstein commented that, "Some people say Mandrake the Magician. was comics' first superhero," and we at Hermes Press couldn't agree more. So, starting with Volume One we present the complete adventures of Mandrake the MagicianThis second volume of the series presents six stories: "Return of the Clay Camel"; "The Slave Traders of Tygandi"; "Mandrake in the Lost World": "In the Cobra's Grip"; and "Mandrake in America.".…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the "granddaddy of all costumed superheroes," The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Back in the 1950s during the "Cold War" every new day beckoned 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 new historic reprint looks back at those good ole days, which can be viewed in the perspective of today's political climate. This volume reprints the complete runs of Atomic War! and World War III and can be read merely as great action/adventure stories, classic "war" comics or as an eerie, unanticipated commentary on today's tribulations. SPECIAL NOTE: if these extremely rare books were purchased at your local comic shop they would cost well over $1000 in low grade condition.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. 1st. What made many of the great adventure comics of the 1960s so attractive were their fantastic painted covers by artist George Wilson.

This new art book focuses on over 300 examples of his cover art and features numerous examples of Wilson's artwork scanned from the originals together with many of the book covers he created including his extensive run on Avon's The Phantom (as well as his work on the Gold Key version).…
