I will admit one of my guilty pleasures is the 1980 Flash Gordon film. Campy as hell but I loved it. I remember seeing it in the theaters as a kid, and the very first album I ever bought was the Flash Gordon Soundtrack by Queen. This comic series was loosely based on the plot of the film but not a direct adaptation. In fact, some of it is very different but if you are familiar with the 1980 film you will see the similarities. The ending wasn't what I expected but overall this was a good read. Th...
A fun and pretty Flash Gordon story. I like how it takes aspects from the original source, the cartoon, and the movie with a little bit of WW II thrown in for good measure. It is just fun read.
Uma curiosa revisão das histórias de Flash Gordon, cuja estética mescla o exotismo elegante de Alex Raimond, traços de dieselpunk e a extravagância anos oitenta do filme. Aqui, o imperador Ming diverte-se com a Terra, fornecendo armas a um certo ditador alemão para se entreter com a conquista do planeta. Apenas Zarkov, o cientista, suspeita que algo mais estará por detrás de estranhos eventos atmosféricos, e coopta Flash Gordon e Dale Arden para, num foguetão, investigar a sugestão de bizarros u...
Meh.

Flash Gordon: ZeitgeistBack in 2013 Dynamite Comics produced a Flash Gordon comic unlike anything that had been seen up to that point. For the hardcore fans there was Mongo in all its splendor. There were the various kingdoms and the overblown egos of its royalty, too. For the casual fans there were references to the Cult Classic 1980s movie Flash Gordon and there also were references to The Adventures of Flash Gordon from 1979. From Dr Zarkoff’s ship to some of the clothing, including Ming’s fl...
I enjoyed the aesthetic and how the book kind of synthesized the movie and the comic strips. It got repetitive quickly, though.

The concept for this book seemed very well worth my time to read, but the execution of that concept was far from spectacular. It's still Flash Gordon though.

FLASH!!!! AHHH-aaaaaa!! This is a kind of amalgamation of the original Alex Raymond comic, the series black and white live action, and lastly the epic Mike Hodges/Dino De Laurentis 1980 film. The love, knowledge, and appreciation for that Alex Ross has for all things Flash Gordon comes out in this.
Famed comic artist Alex Ross loves the 1980 Flash Gordon movie. He proudly proclaims this love in one edition of the film’s dvd. Now, he gets to play in the Flash Gordon “toy box,” and the result suggests that he loves the titular character as much as the movie.FLASH GORDON: ZEITGEIST credits Ross with “plot and art direction.” The volume’s contents originally appeared as a ten-issue mini-series, and Ross’ ten original covers, along with his sketches of the characters, are included.
