The year is 1934, a time of two-fisted swashbuckling, of fearsome threats and wild adventure—and of ever-growing threats on the horizon.
Three valiant humans — Flash Gordon, Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov — are plucked from the Earth, traveling to the distant planet Mongo. Their exploits are legendary, battling the machinations and terror schemes of the dreaded emperor Ming, the All-Seeing Ruler of Mongo. But they did not fight alone…
Written by Eric Trautmann (Vampirella, Red Sonja), from a story and designs by Alex Ross (Kingdom Come, Marvels, Project Superpowers), and illustrated by Daniel Lindro (Sherlock Holmes: Year One).

More comics should try the one dollar first issue idea, it works for me!
Another great Francesco Francavilla cover unseen…Life is so unfair 🙁
Definite buy for a buck!
Sweet!
This was awesome & more towards the cult hit movie from 1980. I tried the one from Ardden but the fact is that they reused art in multiple issues almost a lazy photoshop job so I couldn’t bare it. This seems to be for the Flash Gordon fan of my age who knows nothing of the 1930s Flash. Also this was a dollar so if you can’t swing that you have issues.
This was the surprise of the week for me. I’ll definitely be getting issue #2 to see if it holds up. I confess to being a fan of the 1980 movie, and so far this takes everything good from it and adds some twists. Nice artwork too. 5/5
