Alex Raymond
Alexander Gillespie Raymond Jr. is an American animator, best known for creating the Flash Gordon comic book for King Features Syndicate in 1934. Subsequently, this film has been adapted in many other media, from the three Universal series to the feature films of the 1970s and 1980s. Raymond's father loved to draw and encouraged his son to draw from a young age. In the early 1930s, this led Raymond to become an assistant illustrator for works such as Tillie the Toiler and Tim Tyler's Luck. At the end of 1933, Raymond created the epic sci-fi comic Flash Gordon to compete with the famous Buck Rogers comic. Soon after, Flash was the most popular line. Raymond also worked on the Jungle Jim Jungle Adventure Story and Secret Agent X-9 Spy Adventure simultaneously with The Flash, though his growing workload caused him to quit the Secret Agent. X-9 for another artist in 1935.
