Norrin_Radd Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I was reading CFA-APA #47 recently and there is an article by Ray Cuthbert about the art for Al Williamson's Flash Gordon #1. He has the art on his Comic Art Fans page. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1395 Including the cover.

I guess I'll have to track down a copy... I suppose that was all the stolen art that Club Anni was selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Glad you asked! What I mean is, they've restarted the comic strip with new creators, it's been in repeats for the last 20 years or so. https://comicskingdom.com/flash-gordon The first new strip is Sunday, October 22nd. Thanks to Mark Evanier for the heads up https://www.newsfromme.com/2023/10/22/news-flashes-2/ Yorick and ganni 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, the nicer line (1961) came after the more basic rendering (1959) Unless they were both copied from.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou_fine Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 With regards to Flash Gordon, all I can say is that they definitely require you to dig much deeper into your pocket if you want to acquire one: https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/miscellaneous/four-color-190-flash-gordon-dell-1948-cgc-nm-94-off-white-to-white-pages/a/122343-17081.s?ic16=ViewItem-BrowseTabs-Auction-Archive-ThisAuction-120115 Have always love this cover and this copy here sold for $3K or about $1K more than what the CGC 9.2 Promise cpy had sold for last year. Just as surprising, if not more, is this copy of Flash Gordon 2 that sold this past Sunday for $1,680 or some 11.5X condition guide value: If anything, these strong prices for Flash Gordon comics seems to reinforce the surprisingly strong prices that CC got a couple of years ago when they had a number of Flash Gordon's in one of their Event Auctions and they also all sold aggressively in the $2K to $3K price range.

Yorick Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) If anyone here "competes" in the CGC Registry Sets, J created a new set for me with all the Flash Gordon variants (USA books beginning with the 1965 #1). MAKE A FLASH GORDON SET!! I'll probably send some more census no-show books for grading. I am waiting impatiently for my pence King issues to return to me. I wonder if those Dell issues above should be added to the Flash Gordon Complete set? Edited November 10, 2023 by Yorick ADD ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a foreign #1 that began with one of those Whitman/Western issues using incredible Carlos Garzon art in black and white. I was stunned that I had overlooked these for so long. The art was beautiful. I've been looking at low grade whitman lots on feebay to read (I'm trying to pay $2 or less per issue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garzon tends to be ignored when he's not working with Williamson and that's really not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some blasphemy: I think I like Garzon's ladies more than Williamson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
