FLASH GORDON CLASSIC COLLECTION Daily Strips Volume 5 1951-1953

In this volume, a whole new era begins for the space faring adventurer as comics legends Harvey Kurtzman and Dan Barry relaunch the strip! Space prisons, butterfly men, and forest demons — Flash Gordon will take them all on! Superb artwork carries on the tradition of powerful and imaginative storytelling launched in 1934 by Alex Raymond. Frazetta, along with other artists like Al Williamson and Jack Davis, briefly assisted Barry with illustrations during this period. The introduction details these additional artist's contributions. The cover of this volume states that these are Sunday strips, but the interiors are in fact Dailies due to a miscommunication. (See NOTE below) Collects Daily Strips from November 19, 1951 to October 24, 1953. From Wikipedia: In 1951, King Features created a new daily Flash Gordon strip, drawn by Dan Barry, who was assisted during his tenure by Harvey Kurtzman and Harry Harrison, who both wrote scripts for the strip. Barry also had several artists who aided him with Flash Gordon's illustrations, including Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, Bob Fujitani, Jack Davis, Sy Barry, Fred Kida, and Emil Gershwin. When Barry left the strip in 1990, various artists and writers worked on Flash Gordon. The daily strip was ended in 1993. Please NOTE: Due to an unfortunate miscommunication between the licensor and the publisher, the contents of this volume are NOT Sunday strips, but are in fact Dailies (which continue in Vol. 6). The publisher currently has no plans to reprint the volume until existing stock is exhausted and they decide to go back to press. We apologize for any confusion, but the situation is beyond our control.
