Mandrake The Magician (1934)

Description

One of the biggest news paper comic strip superheroes! Originally published in black and white, he later got a more traditional comic book treatment, published on vertical pages in color for newspapers magazines and later on his own comic books. He had a huge following worldwide; he was popular here in latin america (there are some popular sayings with his name even!). My mom was a huge Mandrake fan when she was a kid; she told me that she even tried to run on the walls like him! :D I knew the character in the 80s thanks to the Defenders of The Earth animated series, but since he has faded from pop culture, with the comic strip ending his long publication run and film projects stuck in develpment hell for more than a decade...

After all these years he has not changed much in his design... well,  tuxedos have not changed in a century actually! So not much to redesign, just a little bit muted colors for these one.
