one of the coolest cartoon of my childhood day

Is that the Phantom I just saw at 0:15??

Fair enough, I was mis-informed!

David315842> Actually, Lothar wasn't exclusive to Defenders of the Earth. He is Mandrake's servant/ bodyguard from the Mandrake comic strips. They decided to upgrade him in the DotE cartoon as if he was a hero of equal stature to the others, even though he doesn't have his own comic strip.

I hated this show when I was a kid. But in retrospect, the song is sooooooooooo cool. It gives me goosebumps.
Reminds me of how much today's music stinks in contrast.

Man, this song should be available on Guitar Hero :P

Then import it. Buy it online.

'friend' sorry.

Mandrake was a character created by Lee Falk who also created the Phantom and the DOTE exclusive character; Lothar who is a close riend of Mandrake's. DOTE was put together by King Features Syndicate as they had the rights to these characters and Alex Raymond's characters; Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless. Hope this helps. Wikipedia should provide more info.

My abiding memory of this was how rubbish the ice robots were at shooting. The defenders would just be stood around chatting while the ice robots consistently missed them.
