BB-Gun Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I thought I would post this Ad for the mysterious issue 5 of Flash Gordon. The original art looks better than the crude cover that appeared in the ad. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 You talk about layout ... the Iron Skull story drawn earlier (published Oct. 1939) is a lot more dynamic than the White Streak story from March 1940. Overall I think Burgos' storytelling skills (ala Caniff or Toth) are better displayed in the White Streak story although I do like the imagery on this particular Iron Skull page. Well, that single page to me is better than the entire White Streak story. It's no surprise you singled out the same page. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 What I find funny is that with seemingly everyone around here owning a copy of Amazing Man # 6, no one is mentioning what's probably the best looking story in that book, the Gustavson Congo War-Drum which is head-and-shoulders above the others in that issue - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a book, Amazing Man #6 is just loaded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks, Scrooge. Lots of variety in that issue. I don't think I've ever read a Congo War Drum story before. Was it just a two issue series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
