== Fictional Character Biography ==
The Cobra is [[Mandrake]]'s most evil and dangerous foe. In a story from 1937, the Cobra was apparently defeated; however, he returned with a vengeance in a story from 1965. This time hiding his face (scarred and disfigured in battle with Mandrake) behind a menacing silver mask.

The Cobra's main goal is to acquire one of the two powerful [[The Crystal Cube|Crystal Cubes]] which increase mental energy. These are guarded by Mandrake and [[Theron]].

In later years, the Cobra abandoned his silver mask as his face had been reconstructed through surgery. The Cobra is sometimes accompanied by his assistant [[Udd]].

===Family===
Mandrake learned that The Cobra's true identity was Luciphor, Theron's oldest son — thus making The Cobra Mandrake's half-brother.

In Mandrake's mirror lives the evil opposite [[Ekardnam]], a criminal and inventor of a spray that made the mirror people able to ''walk through the mirror'' and into our world.

Special Strips

2018-11-27T21:12:47Z

Andreas: /* End World Hunger */

On a few occasions, special strips unrelated to the ongoing story have occured in daily and Sunday stories.

===The Merry Christmas strips===
In 1934, 1935 and 1937, special '''Merry Christmas''' strips were published in the dailies on December 25th.

Image:md-19371225.jpg|December 25,1937
</gallery>
====Other====
A similar '''Merry Christmas''' strip was made for "[[The Phantom]]" in 1937. As a curiosity, Al Capp made '''Merry Christmas''' strips in 1947 to 1950 with wishes for merry christmas to many named people, including [[Lee Falk|Lee]] and [[Constance Falk|Connie]] Falk.

</gallery>

===End World Hunger===
In 1985 the Thanksgiving comics strips were peppered with reference to hunger, Africa and gluttony. The effort was organized by Garry Trudeau ''(Doonesbury)'', Charles Schulz ''(Peanuts)'' and Milton Caniff ''(Steve Canyon)''. The idea was to make a little more poignant message than a general reference to Thanksgiving, and give the readers the idea that it is an issue they should be concerned with. The Thanksgiving strips were later collected into a book, ''Comic Relief'', and the book's proceeds were donated to USA for Africa. Each cartoonist dealt with hunger in their strips. Mandrake and The Phantom didn't interrupt the comic's story line but added the word ''End World Hunger'' to the bottom of one panel.
