Everyone knows Flash Gordon–the most iconic science fiction swashbuckler ever to burst forth from the newspaper pages. His adventures wielded so much energy that they inspired everyone who followed, no matter what the medium. Filmmaker George Lucas famously revealed, “Growing up in California, I was enchanted by two things…race cars and Flash Gordon. The first love I put to use in American Graffiti, the second eventually turned into Star Wars.”

On January 7, 1934, the world was introduced to a new science fiction hero, Flash Gordon. Created by artist Alex Raymond, Flash was inspired by – and intended to be competition for – Buck Rogers, who had been introduced to newspaper comic strips in 1928. Flash was a polo player and graduate of Yale University, and along with Dale Arden (a love interest for our hero) is flown by rocket by the half-mad Dr. Hans Zarkov to the distant planet Mongo, which is ruled by Ming the Merciless. The three spend many years on Mongo fighting Ming in an effort to overthrow his terrible regime and restore peace to the planet.
The book Flash Gordon: The Tyrant of Mongo reprints several stories from Raymond’s run as artist, aided by writer Don Moore. The stories start with “The Beast of Mongo”, which began on April 25, 1937, continuing with “The Outlaws of Mongo”, “The Tyrant of...

Pretty much the comic book Oscars, the 2012 nominations for the Eisner awards have been announced. There is quite are large showing from Marvel in the superhero department, not so much from DC. Surprising, considering the company’s high profile New 52 relaunch. Save for Jeff Lemire’s nomination for Best Writer, most of DC’s nomination are pre-relaunch, or from their Vertigo imprint which has been left untouched by the New 52. The nominations are usually as controversial as the Oscars, with books and whole companies being left out, much to fans, sometimes, anger and confusion.
A full list of the nominations are below, courtesy of Bleeding Cool, and the award will take place at this years San Diego Comic Con.
Best Short Story “A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture,” by Adrian Tomine, in Optic Nerve #12 (Drawn & Quarterly) “Harvest of Fear,” by Jim Woodring, in The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror #17 (Bongo) “The Phototaker,...
