I have just seen news that Titan Books will reprint the orig\u00adi\u00adnal \u201cMan\u00addrake the Magi\u00adcian\u201d<\/em><\/a> Sun\u00adday com\u00adic strips. The first col\u00adlec\u00adtion will be released in Feb\u00adru\u00adary, 2012, and cov\u00ader the first two years of pub\u00adli\u00adca\u00adtion, 1935\u20131937.<\/p>\n

As the release says:<\/p>\n

From the very begin\u00adning in 1934, these are the orig\u00adi\u00adnal adven\u00adtures of the famous com\u00adic strip detec\u00adtive \u2014 col\u00adlect\u00aded in full for the very first time!<\/p>\n

Man\u00addrake is a mas\u00adter of hyp\u00adno\u00adsis, whose abil\u00adi\u00adty caus\u00ades his oppo\u00adnents to encounter wild illu\u00adsions, giv\u00ading the heroes the upper hand in a fight. His ene\u00admies cov\u00ader a broad spec\u00adtrum, includ\u00ading gang\u00adsters, mad sci\u00aden\u00adtists, alien crea\u00adtures, and char\u00adac\u00adters from oth\u00ader adven\u00adtures. His great\u00adest ally is Lothar, \u201cPrince of the Sev\u00aden Nations\u201d who gave up his crown to join Man\u00addrake in his globe-trot\u00adting adven\u00adtures. They are accom\u00adpa\u00adnied by the beau\u00adti\u00adful Nar\u00adda, princess of a Euro\u00adpean nation and Man\u00addrake\u2019s roman\u00adtic interest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Man\u00addrake was cre\u00adat\u00aded by Lee Falk<\/a>, who is also the cre\u00adator of The Phan\u00adtom<\/a><\/em>, and is the clas\u00adsic exam\u00adple of the stage magi\u00adcian hero. He has the abil\u00adi\u00adty to hyp\u00adno\u00adtize his oppo\u00adnents which adds to his mys\u00adtic aura, yet he is also capa\u00adble of actu\u00adal feats of mag\u00adic and mys\u00adti\u00adcism, mak\u00ading him a super\u00adheroic char\u00adac\u00adter before the acknowl\u00adedged first super\u00adhero, Super\u00adman, was pub\u00adlished. This is some\u00adthing I am seri\u00adous\u00adly look\u00ading for\u00adward to seeing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
