SciFiDig 187 – The Flash Gordon show
This week Ric and I discuss Flash Gordon with emphasis on the 1988 DC miniseries as well as the new series from Ardden Entertainment. The show is very laid back and informal but we both had a great time.

Hi guys, thanks for covering our new FLASH GORDON monthly comic book series. As far as Flash being a “regular” guy, in Alex Raymond’s original strips, he was anything BUT regular. He was a Yale graduate (which is why I made him a Yale professor, as a nod to Raymond) and a professional athlete (Polo). He’s repeatedly described throughout Raymond’s comic strips as incredibly fast, strong and accurate with weapons. Also, if you give issues 2 and 3 of our series (both out in comic stores) a shot, I think you’ll be very pleased with the direction in which the story is progressing. All reviews of issues 2 and 3 have been positive, and sales actually WENT UP from the second to the third issue, unheard of in the comic industry these days.
Thanks again for the coverage.
