spillred Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Exciting Comics #64 November, 1948 Airbrush cover by "Xela" Schomburg Recent eBay purchase. Not sure if it's nicer than the copy I already have, but hey, it's an Okajima and a Nedor, how could I go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Just in from the ComicLink Focused Auction: Very nice copy, Andy (and terrific page quality!). I really like non-mainstream cool books like this STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Just picked up this whole set on eBay in one fell swoop! BTW there's going to be a new Flash Gordon TV show that's going to start on the Sci Fi channel in August - I'm really excited about it, but I just hope it isn't all camped out like the 70s movie.

selegue Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Cool set. OS notes the existence of an undersized, B&W #5 in the series, and GCD has a open space for it. Gerber mentions two "Gordon Bread giveaways", which could be the same thing. Does anyone here have those? Who drew the covers? Are they Harvey house artist swipes of Raymond panels?

Jack No, the two Gordon bread giveaways are different and actually fairly common - they pop up on ebay from time to time. The Harvey Flash Gordon # 5, on the other hand is extremely rare! Along with All New 15, Boy Explorers 2 and Stuntman 3 it was only mailed to subscribers. The other three B&W subscription-only issues turn up occasionally, but never the Flash Gordon. I have never even seen a picture of one, much less an actual issue. It is very possibly a legit Gerber 10 (though it is not listed in Gerber). Amazingly the original art for the cover still survives: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny to see the name Stan Campbell again. I read a story by him on Sunday in an issue of Crime and Justice. Had never see his work before.

I loved the 70's movie....... I liked it too for what it was, but I loved the late 70's Filmation animated series on Saturday morning much, much more. It actually stayed very true to the Raymond strip, at least for the first season. I'm hoping this new live action show will do the same, but I'm afraid it's not likely. BTW, the animated Flash Gordon was released on DVD last year - for those who haven't seen it, but are fans of the Raymond strip I highly recommend it.
