Science fiction’s most enduring icon Flash Gordon returns in a newly restored edition, collecting his ongoing adventures with Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov on the mysterious planet Mongo.

In this volume, the escalating tensions between Flash and Ming threaten to bring about a full-scale planetary war...and only Ming’s estranged son-in-law, Prince Barin, can avert it.

This collection reprints all of Alex Raymond’s Sunday strips from April 25, 1937 to January 12, 1941, the period considered his artistic peak, and has been restored from the original tearsheets to present the series as intended.

About the Author

Alex Raymond is one of the most famous artists in the history of comic strips. He created Flash Gordon, Secret Agent X-9, Rip Kirby, and Jungle Jim. George Lucas has indicated that Flash Gordon was the inspiration for the Star Wars movies, and Raymond's work has inspired decades of writers, artist, and filmmakers.

Don Moore was the writer of the Flash Gordon, taking over scriptwriting duties from strip creator Alex Raymond in August 1935. Moore was a former pulp editor. Raymond was the creator of several strips at the time; Flash Gordon, Secret Agent X-9, Jungle Jim; and needed Moore's scripting assistance.
