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 \u003cem\u003eSunday\u003c\/em\u003e strips, but the interiors are in fact \u003cem\u003eDailies\u003c\/em\u003e due to a miscommunication.

When Barry left the strip in 1990, various artists and writers worked on Flash Gordon. The daily strip was ended in 1993.\n\nPlease \u003cstrong\u003eNOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mad Cave Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643827093790,"sku":"FLAG05H","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/flag05h-flash-gordon-classic-coll-vol-5-book.jpg?v=1784521122","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/flash-gordon-classic-collection-the-complete-sunday-strips-5-1951-1953","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
