About the series
In 1995, Marvel Comics revived the classic newspaper hero for a two-issue miniseries, bringing Mandrake the Magician—along with his ally Lothar and fellow adventurer Kit Walker (The Phantom)—into the modern era. Written by Mike Barr with art by Rob Ortaleza, this brief but stylish run updated the master illusionist’s supernatural crime-fighting for a new generation, highlighting the enduring appeal of these pulp icons. While short-lived, the series stands as a notable late-era Marvel tribute to the character’s storied legacy.
