Alex Raymond Quotes

United States, Cartoonist
October 2, 1909 – September, 6, 1956.

Alexander Gillespie Raymond 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 movie serials (1936, 1938,1940) to a 1970s television series and a 1980 feature film.

I decided honestly that comic art is an art form in itself. It reflects the life and times more accurately and actually is more artistic than magazine illustration - since it is entirely creative. An illustrator works with camera and models; a comic artist begins with a white sheet of paper and dreams up his own business - he is playwright, director, editor and artist at once.
