FLASH GORDON CLASSIC COLLECTION HC VOL 08 (28 Oct Release)

Escalating tensions between Flash and Ming threaten to bring about a full scale planetary war--and only Ming's estranged son-in-law Prince Barin can avert it. This latest Classic Collection reprints all of Austin Briggs Daily strips from 1940 to Sept 1942¸ the period considered to be his most artistic peak¸ restored from the original tearsheets. Briggs was a master at clean and consistent brush work in his line art that rivaled any daily strip artists of the time. He had a solid grasp of the characters and the science fiction/fantasy atmosphere that Alex Raymond first created. This beautiful hardcover format does justice to the amazing artist's body of work on Flash Gordon.
