My personal favorite Flash item I own...

Now that is sweet! I've seen some modern pinball machines that tell a story as you proceed through bells and whistles.  It would be cool for nostalgia and buzz to see a lot of things revisited,  flash Gordon included. 

So cool

You can't approach a movie like this and expect it to be "good".  Try and lower your expectations.  Have you seen Starcrash?  Plan 9 From Outer Space?

I actually think the Flash Gordon movie has aged amazingly well... you can level any number of valid criticisms at it, but it's enormously fun and as time passes it's gone from instantly dated to delightfully, joyously retro-futuristic.

the main man

Buster Crabbe played both Flash Gordon AND Buck Rogers.  I was looking through an Italian book I just received and they seem to like Buck more, but there was a bit of Crabbe Flash that I'll be able to take a few pictures of.

I really like those Paul Norris covers you posted.  In this one above, is this the issue with Frank Thorne art?
