Kings Watch Volume 1 by Jeff Parker5/22/2023 Kings Watch #1 is the latest effort to team the three greatest heroes owned by King Features Syndicate – Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician – together in a single series.Īs our story opens, the world is in dire straits. Nor is it surprising that these revivals would see said properties being paired together to reach a more diverse audience. Given that history, it’s no wonder there have been numerous attempts over the past century to revive these pulp properties. Strange had there never been a Mandrake the Magician And it’s unlikely we’d have Zatara or Dr. Likewise one can draw a clear line from Batman to Lee Falk’s Phantom, who was himself inspired by both Zorro and Tarzan. While Superman was the first character to possess all the attributes of what came to be known as a superhero, the roots of the character can be traced back to the science-fiction stories of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. The heroes of modern American Comics owe much to their Pulp Fiction predecessors.
