Wow.  Some really wonderful things being posted!

My favorite collected/reprint book of Flash Gordon material is the Flesk Publishing "Al Williamson's Flash Gordon".  As much as possible it prints from scans of Al's original pages, and all in glorious black and white!  I also have the two Al Williamson Archives books which occasionally contain some sketches/preliminary Flash Gordons.

I'm pretty sure there's not a single Al Williamson Flash Gordon piece that's not reprinted in the book...

This endplate was put together with drawings by Raymond.

What is the single best collected Raymond work of Flash Gordon?  Is there a special year or two?

get a photo with Flash Gordon

NICE!  I have heard that Sam really goes out of his way for the fans.  Maybe you can make a cardboard rocket cycle and do the "Ted" ride-along with Sam and yourself for the photo!!

I wonder how many times people have quoted the Queen song film dialogue to him? About sixty million, do you think? I bet he wishes War Rocket Ajax would fall out the sky on them.

In my early convention years I saw him and Melody at a table.  I didn't have the courage to speak to him, but I lingered and listened.  I recall other fans going by yelling, "Death to Ming!"

I would look for 1936-38 for prime period Flash Gordon in a clear black and white reprint volume. Here is a clone or MLJ tribute by artist Fred Guardineer(?) from Blue Ribbon #1 "Dan Hastings" December 1939. Should have put rocket ships on front cover rather than Rang-a-tang dog to sell more copies.

No one's mentioned this one yet, but I was always a fan!

I never got around to the animated version.  Do you still watch it?
