FLASH GORDON BULLDOGS THE SNAKE MONSTER !!!


I really enjoyed the looks of this cover! I am a big fan of dinosaurs, snakes and the like, comic book covers. This cover delivered, it didn't disappoint.

Fine trade paperback of Al Williamson on Flash Gordon. Huge collection. Highly recommended!
Over the years, several publishers have produced Flash Gordon comics, either reprints or original stories. David McKay, Dell and Harvey Comics reprinted the classic Alex Raymond comic strips. King, Charlton and Gold Key (finishing under their Whitman imprint) Comics came along with exciting new stories and the major motion picture adaptation.
