Rip Kirby - The Tigress of El Kazar

Alex Raymond (1909-1956) was regarded as one of the giants of newspaper adventure strip artists. Raymond's first major creation was FLASH GORDON in 1934. Rip Kirby, created in 1946, signaled a grand departure, both thematically and artistically, from the science fiction classic. With Rip Kirby, Raymond wedded his incomparable brushwork to a sweeping approach to storytelling and camera movement that was missing in the more static FLASH. He promulgated a new art style - one of cinematic photo-realism....


Rip Kirby was smart and sophisticated, but still a man's man. He applied scientific methods to his crime-solving techniques, but was still involved in plenty of action --- Kirby was an All-American athlete and decorated war hero.

Download here one of the vintage Rip Kirby stories, "The Tigress of El Kazar (September 1951-January 1952 - Size: 65.3 MB)", which most probably has never been published as a comic book.
