American comic strip artist and creator of Flash Gordon
Alex Raymond (1909-1956) was an American cartoonist and illustrator, best known for creating the iconic comic strips Flash Gordon, Jungle Jim, and Rip Kirby. Born in New Rochelle, New York, Raymond began his career as an assistant to Russ Westover on the comic strip Tillie the Toiler and later worked with Lyman Young on Tim Tyler's Luck. In 1934, Raymond created Flash Gordon, a science fiction adventure strip that became an instant success and has since been adapted into various media, including radio, film, and television. The strip's dynamic artwork and epic storytelling set a new standard for the science fiction genre in comics. In the same year, Raymond also created Jungle Jim, an adventure strip set in Southeast Asia, which ran as a topper to Flash Gordon in many newspapers. In 1946, after serving in the Marine Corps during World War II, Raymond created the detective strip Rip Kirby, which introduced a more realistic style of illustration to the medium. Raymond's work has been influential in the development of the comic strip as an art form, and he has been recognized with several awards, including posthumously being inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1996. His work continues to be celebrated for its artistic innovation and narrative sophistication.
