When he was asked to create an adventure strip to compete with Buck Rogers, Alex Raymond came up with Flash Gordon, a strip that not only competed with but eventually eclipsed Buck Rogers. Not content with just that, he doubled-down by creating an answer to Tarzan for a "topper" strip in Jungle Jim. Between them, the two would go on to become radio shows, movie serials, TV shows, movies, and comic books. The fantastic art of Alex Raymond would inspire cartoonist for generations to come.
