King: Mandrake the Magician

Dynamite Entertainment revived the classic Lee Falk hero for a four-issue miniseries beginning in 2015, with writer Roger Langridge and artists Felipe Cunha, Jeremy Treece, and Ivan Rodriguez bringing a modern sensibility to the master of illusion. This take on Mandrake the Magician balances the character's Golden Age mystique with contemporary storytelling, updating his stage-magic roots into a more grounded, supernatural-tinged adventure. While a short run, it stands as a thoughtful, visually dynamic reintroduction of one of comics' earliest costumed heroes, reminding readers why the original magician still matters.
