3rd Serial |

Even though
Zarkov's expedition has failed, Prince
Barin cooks up a plan to rescue Princess
Aura,
from her evil father's prison. |
Alex Raymond's Princess Aura demanded audiences with
Emperor Ming, whether
he listened to her or not, and
then returned to her home in Arboria afterward. |
|
Radios rarely
brought good news for the
Earthpeople in Raymond's comic strip. |
This treacherous formerly-secret radio is used once
again as Barin and Aura
communicate. |
|
Captain
Sudan is in charge of Ming's palace guards, and
he's a secret ally of Prince
Barin, who's waging open
warfare with Emperor Ming in the movie serial. | Captain
Sudin was a submarine commander in the comic strip, and fought openly at Flash
Gordon's side. King
Barin had to hide his alliance with the Earthpeople. |
|
Raymond's
Power Men in the had access to
Ming's palace via secret tunnels. |
Prince Barin makes arrangements to sneak into Ming's palace utilizing Sudan's
control of the tunnels. |
|
An
uncompromised patrol raises the alarm, and Ming unleashes a raging flood on his
enemies. |
Ming flooded the tunnels beneath his city during Raymond's Outlaws of Mongo
sequence. |
|
Aura shed
a tear for the imprisoned Flash Gordon
ONCE in the Sunday strip, but kept her
dignity. | Ming's
hurry to tell sobbing Aura that her husband and allies are "drowned like
rats," is a BIG mistake. |
|
Captain
Sudan saves the lives of Flash and
his allies while Ming isn't watching. | Ming's
ruthlessness backfired in the comic pages
when floodwaters damaged his own
city. |
|
Ming's
flood forced Flash Gordon and Company
to beat a retreat in the newspapers. | Dale
welcomes her bedraggled warriors back to the
Rocket Ship -- it is a victory
that they're still alive! |
|
Lady Sonja
and her gang are making plans! | Arboria
wasn't a safe haven in either medium. |
