5.0 out of 5 stars Lee Falk's Golden Age Creator Gold: Mandrake and Lothar - Some of His Best Work.
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
While nothing compares with Lee Falk's creation, the Phantom, which has a more atmospheric setting, in many ways, Mandrake the Magician is the template for Dr. Strange, sometimes superior to Marvel's psychedelic creation, despite Steve Ditko's incredible pencils. I doubt young readers will buy this on their own, so I urge parents to purchase these safe tales for their children. My son, seven, and daughter six, both love Sagendorf's Popeye, for example - the humor series do better with children - and for most more sophisticated comics readers, backtracking through history - the "Defenders of the Earth" cartoon series, which was simply amped up on 80s cartoon fun was my first brush with the character - Mandrake may be an acquired taste. The stories have Golden Age bare-bones minimalism, which I've come to enjoy. For one, the art completely lacks busyness. No one is showing off. They have a nice tale to tell, with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and they tell it well. Lothar is Mandrake's African crime-fighting companion; Lothar is the immovable object, a kind of man who counterbalances the magician's non-physicality, and, unlike badly dated depictions of race active in character during the time, a "Prince of the Seven Nations," a kind of league of jungle tribes, with the leadership and morality to accompany the brawn. Enjoy. Thanks to Hermes Press for keeping these books alive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Collector's edition.
Reviewed in India on July 1, 2019

The stories in this book and the art work of Phil Davis belong to the 50s and 60s.The period of Faulk working with Fred Fredricks is the best and I grew up with them.The stories in this book are not well developed.The pre Fredricks period is not to my liking.Though this book is expensive,if you're a collector of rare Mandrake's comics,you can go for this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Drawing Sizes does matter for the readers.
Reviewed in India on May 31, 2019

Part one is good .In the part -2 ,they have not printed it as per the size given in the daily /weekly scripts.Instead of that they have given big size sketches which are only meant to increase pages &this make the stories not exciting. Readers interest is gone once he goes this type of stories.
