I think not... Music sticks in the memory like nothing else, that's for sure. At the risk of mentioning the competitor in this thread... I saw the Buck Rogers movie in the theater on original release when I was 7 or 8, then loved the TV show when it aired. I quickly forgot the opening credits were different in the theatrical version. But for some reason I remembered some of the lyrics to the theme song every time I saw the credits, even though the TV version didn't use them. It was something of a revelation when I saw the theatrical credits again decades later and went "oh, that's where that came from." Although I had reversed the line to "Who am I, What am I" in my head and to this day the actual version sounds odd to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BINijYepahA Youtube won't let the video embed... if you've never seen it it's one of the most late 70's things ever.

Biddi-biddi-biddi! It's funny when you get something wrong as a kid isn't it, and then discover it later in life. There are so many songs I will always sing wrong, whether I know it or not.

That was the movie soundtrack, right? I have the laserdisc, but haven't watched it in ages. The 70's styles really shine through. Big glasses, soft focus, dreamy... When I think of movie soundtracks, I also gravitate towards Toto's work on Dune. If they had been able to figure out a different way to deal with the voice-over internalized thoughts of the main character, it might have been a better film. But Queen really does make great soundtracks. Highlanders "Who Wants to Live Forever" makes me feel.... something. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who claims otherwise is misremembering. (It’s not impossible I feel far more strongly about the subject than I really should.)

Toz Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Pat Boyette did a lot of art & covers for Charlton and I never particularly liked his art.But later in my life I find covers like this he did that he knocked right out of the park,I simply love this FG cover & this is my first copy of it I have had.I'll upgrade if I come across one.He also did a nice cover for #13.

I think I've loved Williamson's FG so much that I dismissed all of the other fantastic artists who have contributed to the world of Flash Gordon. I do have a Boyette issue (or two) stashed away somewhere, and I find myself enjoying what I see of his more and more. He seems to use a heavier line (probably inking with pens) and executes with confidence. Reminiscent of Toth, Colletta or Thorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
