"Flash Gordon, the swash-buckling, all-American hero who’s been saving Earth and the Universe from mad men, megalomaniacs and Ming the Merciless since 1934, is perhaps science fiction’s most enduring super-hero icon, as well as being the inspiration behind Star Wars, the muse to rock super group, Queen, and star of his own cult 1980s movie! Continues the 1950s rebooted version of Flash Gordon as revitalized by the legendary Dan Barry, and collects the daily strip material from October 26, 1953 – October 29, 1955."
