In 1938, Universal Pictures' Flash Gordon's Trip
to Mars barely quoted King Features'
visual Sunday feast.
Flash Gordon was still a popular feature, and
the public flocked to see another action-packed movie
-- but there was much more machinery, and much less
flesh on the big screen. Alex Raymond's name was not
even in the credits. The movie not only differered
from the newspaper, but the strip itself was changing.
Artist Austin Briggs collaborated with Raymond during
these years, and would start a black
and white Flash
Gordon daily in 1940.
