FLASH GORDON -- FACING A DUEL TO THE DEATH !!!


I'm going to get back to one of my favorite King Comics series, Flash Gordon. I mean, how can you go wrong with the fantastic artwork featured, with legends such as Al Williamson, Reed Crandall, Dan Barry, Ric Estrada, Frank Bolle, Mac Raboy and Gil Kane. There was even a couple of Alex Raymond covers and stories. 
Some of Ric Estrada's finest work!
  


 
Flash Gordon #3   Flash Meets Monolith, champion of all Mongo, in a duel to the death!
Cover by Al (Daredevil) Williamson.
"Lost in the Land of the Lizardmen"
Flash infiltrated the Lizardmen who are looking to join their new ally, Ming the Merciless. 
"Flash Gordon Meets Monolith, Champion of Mongo"

Sweet painted cover for Flash Gordon #3 comic, out of Norway!

For your information, a Map of the planet Mongo!
Who wouldn't want a pin-up of  Man from U.N.C.L.E. Illya Kuryakin? For a buck!

You don't want to miss this series, it's fun, exciting and heartfelt. A magical time!

Live Large My Friends!

Thank You!
More fillers from Flash Gordon #3 I though you might like.
I did have fun with the Power Sub!
I always wondered what this actually looked like.
