Because it's Thanksgiving weekend, and we're out shopping...
..due to the Dreaded Deadline Doom, we're re-presenting a classic (but rarely-seen) Flash Gordon tale...
...the untold story of Flash Gordon's first encounter with the inhabitants of Mongo!
Wow!
Writer Mark Schultz and artist Al Williamson pulled off what many these days would consider to be impossible...a retcon that doesn't contradict any of the previous stories, nor requires a reboot of the character's entire history!
(I thought only Rascally Roy Thomas was capable of such a feat!)
Not only that, but it includes visual Easter Eggs relating to various past versions of Flash, including the Clay People from the second movie serial, Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars, spaceships from the 1930s serials and the 1979 animated series, Flash's father (named "Alex" after artist Alex Raymond) looking remarkably like Buster Crabbe (the actor who played Flash in all three serials), and a young Dr Zarkov based on Al Williamson himself!
You can read the entire mini-series from the start by clicking HERE!
It's well worth your time to do so!
