FLASH GORDON IN DANGER - TO RESCUE DALE !!!

Flash Gordon is the hero of a space opera adventure comic strip originally drawn by Alex Raymond. First published January 7, 1934, the strip was inspired by and created to compete with the already established Buck Rogers adventure strip.

The facsimile edition!

Flash Gordon Strange Adventure Magazine was a pulp magazine which was launched in December 1936. Published by Harold Hersey, it was an attempt to cash in on the growing comics boom, and the popularity of the Flash Gordon comic strip in particular. The magazine contained a novel about Flash Gordon and three unrelated stories with eight full-page color illustrations. Cover artist unknown, but probably Fred Meagher. The quality of both the artwork and the fiction was low and the magazine lasted only one issue. It is now extremely rare. A facsimile of the magazine was released as a book in 2005.

This issue was reprinted in Flash Gordon Comic Book Archives Volume 3. The great cover of issue #18 was used for the Archives' slipcover. Also, here's the original Pat Boyette artwork for the awesome cover of Flash Gordon #15.

Thank You! 

One of Boyette's finest work for me, was "Children of Doom" from Charlton Premiere #2. Written by Denny O'Neil. Love Boyette's cutting edge work with panel layouts. He also used a combination of black & white and color.

Here he is featured in Vanguard's Tales from the Edge #14. Cover painting by Boyette. It also featured an intro by Alex Toth.

A story of his from Seaboard's Weird Tales of the Macabre #2. This magazine also featured an early cover painting by Boris Vallejo!

A nice cover painting of his.
