Mad Cave Studios is collecting the Alex Raymond Flash Gordon Sunday strips, with two hardcover volumes scheduled, covering the years from the beginning of the strip on January 7, 1934 to April 18, 1937 in the first volume, and April 25, 1937 to January 12, 1941 in the second. Both Flash Gordon: Classic Collection volumes are 208-page 10.2” x 11.3" hardcovers, retailing for $49.99. The first volume includes additional background material and an introduction by Alex Ross.
The stories were co-written by Don Moore, but the art is all Raymond, one of the masters of the medium. Raymond’s Flash Gordon comic strips appeared only on Sundays, in color, from the origin of the character in 1934 until 1940, when a daily strip was added.
The Flash Gordon: Classic Collection volumes are part of a broad publishing program around the property from Mad Cave, including an ongoing Flash Gordon series, a Defenders of the Earth series, a Flash Gordon Quarterly series, and a series of middle grade graphic novels (see “Flash Gordon Publishing Program”).
