MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN - A COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION. PART 01 - Contributed by Jens Terje

 Mandrake the Magician is a syndicated newspaper comic strip, created by Lee Falk 

before he created The Phantom. Mandrake began publication on June 11, 1934. 

Phil Davis soon took over as the strip's illustrator, while Falk continued to script. 

The strip was distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Mandrake, along with the Phantom Magician in Mel Graff's The Adventures of Patsy, 

is regarded as the first superhero of comics by comics historians such

 as Don Markstein, who wrote, "Some people say Mandrake the Magician, 

who started in 1934, was comics' first superhero."

First strip 15-06-1934

Mandrake The Magician as seen in his debut from a June 15th 1934 comic strip.

 Copyright not renewed Davis worked on the strip until his death in 1964,

 when Falk recruited artist Fred Fredericks. 

With Falk's death in 1999, Fredericks became both writer and artist. 

The Sunday-newspaper Mandrake strip ended December 29, 2002. 

The daily newspaper strip ended mid-story on July 6, 2013, when

 Fred Fredericks retired, and a reprint of 

Pursuit of the Cobra (D220) from 1995 began July 8, 2013.

Brian's Brain from the pages of Smash! (1966-1969) - Compiled and edited by H. C.

Brian's Brain by Bert van de Put and later Barrie Mitchell,

 ran in Smash! from issues 1-15 (5 Feb 66 to 14 May 66), 

and then returned for issues 93-162 (11 Nov 67 - 8 Mar 69)

Featuring two schoolboys: the eponymous Brian Kingsley 

and his friend Duffy Rolls. 

Brian possesses an electronic

 brain resembling a human skull which he carries about in a box.

 It can communicate with him telepathically,

 glowing when active; and it can control the actions 

of animals if they are within a few yards, 

which is the limit of its brain-wave transmissions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smash!_(comics)

 "Near the end of January 1966, the first issue of a new 

comic went on sale in British newsagents - SMASH!  

Cover-dated February 5th, it featured a mix of traditional 

humour and adventure strips, and was a sister publication 

to WHAM!, published by ODHAMS PRESS.  In April of that year,

 POW! was launched, but out of the three of them, Smash!

 was the longest-lasting, 

managing a relatively impressive five years.

One of the best-remembered strips was BRIAN'S BRAIN,

 featuring the adventures of  BRIAN KINGSLEY, a schoolboy 

who owned an electronic brain shaped like a skull, which 

he carried around in a box.  Bizarre indeed, but it proved 

popular with the readers at the time.  Just to give all you

 Criv-ites a taste of what you may've missed, 

here, for your eyes only, are the first

two instalments of Brian's Brain."

Zarga from Buster and Jet (1972-1973) - Compiled and edited by H. C.

ZARGA, MAN OF MISTERY

The artists for the strip were Joe Colquhoun and Dave Gibbons, 

while the writer was Marcus Scott Goodall.

 First Appearance: Buster and Jet (IPC, 29th April 1972)

Powers/Abilities: 

Able to hypnotise himself to gain any skill he wants. 

Among the many abilities 

he bestowed on himself were: safe-cracker, train engineer, 

champion motorcyclist, heavyweight boxer, Olympic level pole

vaulter and long jumper, test pilot, escapologist, champion skier, 

tank driver, chemist, and stuntman.

History: A stage hypnotist called the Great Zarga had the amazing power

 to hypnotise himself in a mirror and immediately become skilled in any

profession he chose. Bitter at a public he felt had stopped appreciating him, 

he decided to embark on a life of crime to make them pay for this affront.

After an abortive attempt to break into a safe in a well known bank,

 he then succeeded in robbing a bullion train carrying £3 million in gold, becoming

public enemy number 1. His nemesis on the police force was 

Inspector Gumble of Scotland Yard, who led the pursuit 

of the incredible crook and

hopes of gaining a knighthood if he could only capture him. 

Zarga led him a merry chase, impersonating a 

Baron in order to steal a valuable diamond,

Zarga's run in Buster and Jet lasted for around a year and a half, 

ending in the 3rd November 1973 issue.
