Dynamite Entertainment (http://dynamiteentertainment.com/), under license from King Features Syndicate, returns Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, and The Phantom to comic books, and all under the Dynamite publishing umbrella.
The Last Phantom was previously announced to ship this August with Alex Ross at the creative helm, Scott Beatty scripting and Eduardo Ferigato on art in the ongoing series. But with this newest arrangement, the relationship between Dynamite Entertainment and King Features becomes even further solidified with Flash Gordon and Mandrake the Magician! The last time these three iconic heroes were under one publisher was 43 years ago, during the period between 1966 and 1967 under the King Comics imprint. Through the years, different publishers have published each of the characters, with none having all three prime heroes together. Dynamite has changed that.
"Flash Gordon and Mandrake the Magician are two great additions to the iconic characters we currently publish: Green Hornet, The Phantom, Buck Rogers, Zorro, Project Superpowers, The Black Terror, Death Defying 'Devil, Masquarade, The Lone Ranger and all of the titles we are proud to publish," says Dynamite President and Publisher Nick Barrucci. "We promise to devote the same passion to these King Features properties as we have done so consistently throughout our publishing history, beginning with The Last Phantom".
Man, this small press company is trying to get their hands on anything and everything "old school" it seems, this is really cool in my opinion and I hope more and more classic characters get revamped thanks to this company. It's funny, 2 years ago I didn't even know who the heck Dynamite even was, now all of a sudden they have become my 2nd or 3rd favorite comic book publisher.
