Lee Falk's (The Phantom) first comic series, Mandrake the Magician is his other contender for "first costumed superhero in the comics". It all depends on if you want to count a tuxedo, with top hat and cape no less, as a costume.King Features Syndicate started publishing Mandrake in 1934. The first story The Cobra introduced Mandrake's bash brother, Lothar, an African prince who preferred fighting evil to his princely duties. Oh, yeah, Lothar is black. And perhaps the earliest black character portrayed seriously in comics. The second story The Hawk introduced Narda, who would become Mandrake's romantic interest. After sixty years they finally married in 1998.Educated in the mysterious Collegium Magikos in the Himalayas, Mandrake's main ability is the power to create any illusion he can think of in a target's mind, just by "gesturing hypnotically." He also has some telepathic abilities. Naturally, his illusion-casting powers make him the world's greatest stage magician, and that is how he earns his living when he's not busy fighting the forces of evil.Art on the series was done by Phil Davis, and later by Fred Fredericks. Following Lee Falk's death, Fredericks took over writing the series as well, until his retirement on July 6, 2013. The Comics Kingdom site is currently running reprints, starting from 1995. Mandrake also appeared in a live-action serial in 1939 where he and Lothar battled a masked mastermind calling himself the Wasp.Mandrake and Lothar have also appeared in comic books, most recently the Shared Universe established by Dynamite Comics after the Kings Watch miniseries. Mandrake is busy dealing with the aftereffects of Ming's attack on Earth, while Lothar has taken up the role of The Phantom and is on a quest for the true heir to the name.In 2020, Red 5 Comics started Legacy Of Mandrake The Magician about Mandy Paz, a 17-year-old magician-in-training who wants to follow in Mandrake's footsteps. | |

Villain: Exit, Stage Left | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_105f4bd9 | comment |
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: The Clay Camel would almost always get away in the end by disguising himself into an inconspicuous bystander or police officer and sneak away. The heroes would then realize they've been foiled when they find a discarded disguise and one of his Calling Card camel figurines. The Brass Monkey used the same trick. | |

Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_3df7b43b | comment |
Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: In one story, Mandrake did a magic show for a group of school children in which he appeared to pull an elephant out of his hat (it started out tiny, grew to normal size, and then shrank again as he put it back). When the school bully suggested that he'd merely used an elephant-shaped balloon, Mandrake stuck him into the hat, and invited the rest of the children to look into the hat and watch him being chased around by the tiny elephant. | |

Socially Unacceptable Collection | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_3fc53c38 | comment |
Socially Unacceptable Collection: In one story, a bored, reclusive millionaire decides to collect living people as a pastime. He first collected beautiful women, but he soon had enough of their futile, empty talk (it is a '60s story). Then he decided to collect the most gifted people in the world: the greatest violinist, pianist, tenor, ballerina, and Mandrake, the greatest magician. The millionaire has them drugged and taken to his mansion in a remote island, where they wake up with shock collars. He orders them to give him a show with their gifts combined, promising that he'll free them afterwards... brainwashed and hypnotized to forget their abilities, so nobody else will enjoy them! Despite their anger, the artists are forced to perform because of their shock collars, but when it's Mandrake's turn, he hypnotizes the millionaire to think that he put his own collar on him. To not receive a shock, the cowardly man deactivates the collars, putting himself at the mercy not only of his angry victims, but also of his servants, who were his slaves. Instead of sending him to prison, the group destroys all communications on the island and all the vehicles except the plane they use to flee, stranding the selfish millionaire, who is abandoned to live off the island resources all alone. | |

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: Mandrake discovers the Yeti creatures in the Himalaya.

Mandrake wants them to interact with the Earthlings further to help them in human progress, but they have to leave to the stars, not bothering to eliminate/brainwash Mandrake because they know nobody would believe him, especially after they destroyed all remnants of their own civilisation behind. Mandrake decides not to say anything about what he learned. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Lee Falk was once asked if he knew that Lothar is in fact a German name. He admitted that no, he didn't. He "just thought it sounded like a good African name". | |

Mobile-Suit Human | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_e5aff319 | comment |
Mobile-Suit Human: One storyline features a retired circus midget who has invented a normal-sized-human costume that he can use to go out in public without being treated differently. He operates it from inside the torso, and has a collection of different heads for different occasions. He also uses it to rob banks, switching to a different head as soon as he leaves the bank so he can pass as an innocent bystander. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Mandrake's memory has been "fixed" several times, usually by well-meaning, but condescending aliens and time-travellers who think it's too dangerous to let him remember all the fantastic things he has seen. | |

Crossover | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_eb6da8ef | comment |
Crossover: As an African prince, Lothar is invited to The Phantom's wedding, and Mandrake gets to tag along. The two strips have had multiple crossovers over the years, establishing that the Phantom, Lothar, Mandrake, and their respective supporting casts are all friends. | |

Tunnel King | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_f13643c4 | comment |
Tunnel King: The Mole, a genius inventor with a headmounted broad-beam heat ray capable of vaporising rock. It was so effective, his regular outfit included a jetpack so he could keep up. Naturally, he used it to steal from banks. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| Mandrake the Magician (Comic Strip) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: Is Mandrake's trademark hypnotic gesture necessary to his illusion magic, or just a stylistic flourish? One story written by Fred Fredericks has Mandrake rendered helpless when his hands are tied, but a different story by Lee Falk has Mandrake in a similar situation switch to using Hypnotic Eyes without missing a beat. | |
