Cellulose to Celluloid: Flash Gordon on Paper and Film NEW! 14 Chapters -- Expanded and Updated at the command of Princess Aura

INTRODUCTION: Universal Pictures' black and white Flash Gordon serial of 1936 adapted several sequences from Alex Raymond's colorful syndicated strip on the Sunday pages of the newspapers, and borrowed some elements of Raymond's designs. I intend to "compare and contrast" certain panels with certain frames -- and comment shamelessly. Ch 1: Earth is Doomed Ch 2: Rocket into Space Ch 3: Monsters of Mongo Ch 4: Princess Aura Ch 5: Flash Strikes Back Ch 6: Dehumanizing Dale Ch 7: Crash the Wedding Ch 8: Shark Men Ch 9: Sea to Shining Sky Ch 10: Hawk Men Ch 11: The Tournament Ch 12: Potions & Notions Ch 13: The Invisible Flash Ch 14: Aura's Last Crimes & Coda Flash Gordon is the property of it's copyright holders.  All images are used for scholastic purposes ONLY in the context of this article.  Text and graphic design copyright by Michael R.
