Alex Raymond [SEP] Introduction
Alexander Gillespie Raymond Jr. (October 2, 1909 – September 6, 1956) was an American cartoonist who was best known for creating the "Flash Gordon" comic strip for King Features Syndicate in 1934. The strip was subsequently adapted into many other media, from three Universal movie serials (1936's "Flash Gordon", 1938's "Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars", and 1940's "Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe") to a 1970s television series and a 1980 feature film. Raymond's father loved drawing and encouraged his son to draw from an early age. In the early 1930s, this led Raymond to become an assistant illustrator on strips such as "Tillie the Toiler" and "Tim Tyler's Luck".
