It’s a must-have for fans, and a must-see for those who’ve never had the pleasure of reading the original series before." – Forbes.com‘this is wonderful escapism, packed to the rafters with action, last minute escapes and lurid kinkiness.’ – SFX'This is an absolute “must haveâ€​ for anyone who considers themselves a comics aficionado or armchair science fiction historian.' – B&N Book Blog"Titan Books gives this collection the star treatment it deserves, faithfully reproducing the original strips on a high-quality stock of gently off-white paper that avoids the too-bright reproduction of other collections. If you don't have the time to read all 200+ pages of this "coffee- table" book in one sitting, merely dig in at any point and be wowed by Raymond's phantasmal world called Mongo." – MTV'Recaptured in the glorious, four-color tones that evoke the sense of old newsprint, Titan has managed to retain the look and feel of what it must have been like to read the series as it unfolded from week to week, where Raymond managed to cram non-stop action and adventure into a single page of panels and stlll get a reader to return each week.  This lovingly-presented volume should appeal to both new readers and those who might have even read it when it first came out 75 years ago.' – Fanboy Comics'if the first volume is any indication, this series will be prized by longtime fans of Golden Age comics and new admirers alike.' – Playback STL"As far as presentation goes, this is one huge and good looking book. Much like Titan’s other library editions to have come out and impress fans over the years." – Comic AttackBiografÃ​a del autorAlex Raymond is one of the most famous artists in the history of comic strips. He created Flash Gordon, Secret Agent X-9, Rip Kirby, and Jungle Jim. George Lucas has indicated that Flash Gordon was the inspiration for the Star Wars movies, and Raymond's work has inspired decades of writers, artist, and filmmakers. Fantastic artwork, simple storylines I'm giving this book five stars for the artwork and production values of the book. If you're looking for a collection of high quality comic art that's historically important then you need this book (and the subsequent follow up volumes) on your bookshelf. If you're expecting a deeply complex storyline for adults then you'll be disappointed. On the one hand, Flash Gordon is very much of its time; simplistic plots, embarrassingly misogynistic attitudes, and nonsensical "science" to its science fiction. On the other hand, it was a pioneering strip that set a high standard of artwork for others to aspire to. Flash Gordon and his allies breathlessly go from one grim situation to another, encountering various tribes and creatures on the planet Mongo. The book collects the weekly pages that appeared in U.S. Sunday newspapers. It's fast paced stuff, intended for people who discarded each episode after reading it. In collected form, the leaps in logic are glaring; not least the way that Flash and Dale Ardern are suddenly devoted lovers only days after meeting, before they've barely had any conversation or as much as held hands, with Dale forever pining for Flash to marry her. In fact marriage seems to be the goal of everyone on Planet Mongo. Ming wants to marry Dale, but she wants to marry Flash. Princess Aura also wants to marry Flash, but Prince Barin wants to marry Aura. (Perhaps "marry" is an metaphor for something more basic that couldn't be said in family newspapers of the time.) I don't wish to sound negative but I know there are some comic fans who are solely interested in story rather than art. If so, you might be disappointed. If you're interested in great comic art that has great significance in the history of comics then this book is unmissable. One fascinating thing is how the strip develops visually. Starting out as a basic adventure strip with tiny panels but later blossoming into lush grand illustrations with each panel being a masterpiece of figurework and style. Superb! Cracking collection.
