Enormously collectible as this was the third time that the Phantom revealed his face to an outsider by removing his mask, voluntarily this time. The first time was for Diana Palmer (later to become his wife, in 'The Diamond Hunters' from 1937), the second time he was unconscious when a Desert Hermit (in 'The Slave Traders' from 1939) removed it out of curiosity.
First penned by Lee Falk in 1934, Mandrake the Magician is a beloved comic crime-fighter. With a wave of his enchanting hand, crooks and gangsters are hypnotized into submission. Believing the illusion that their weapons are deadly snakes and red-hot irons, criminals cast aside their defenses and are easily apprehended by the cunning magician and his allies. With his dapper mustache and top hat, Mandrake the Magician is an unforgettable classic comic hero.
