Flash Gordon’s Origin

Posted on January 7, 2017 by Jim Keefe

Flash Gordon Sunday pages from 8/19/2001 – 10/28/2001

My homage to Alex Raymond via Flash Gordon’s origin sequence.
For those who are familiar with Raymond’s work you’ll notice I tried to recreate a number of his panels from the 1930s throughout.
Hope you enjoy!

Joe Kubert, John Romita and much, much more!
