About the Artist: Alex Raymond (1909–1956), an influential comic strip artist, created the popular strip "Flash Gordon." The artistry of the panels was the special attraction of Raymond's work. Drawing for King Features, Raymond teamed with writer Don Moore to create a competitor to a rival syndicate's popular science fiction comic strip, "Buck Rogers." The result, "Flash Gordon," appeared in January 1934. Raymond was killed in an automobile accident in 1956.
