Gordon on Paper and Film
Chapter
Four: Princess Aura falls in with the Earthman on
several levels
Aura
appears early, and defies Ming soon after.
Princess
Aura, as drawn by Raymond, is a sudden surprise.
Let
us just say the Princess fell for the Earthman after
his first fight.
Aura
and Gordon drop into Ming's dungeons.
Stunt
people or not, they bounce on a handy net.
May
I have this dance, Princess Aura?
What
Raymond drew in the comic strip ...
...
Hollywood re-created with cross-cutting.
Princess
Aura leads Gordon out of the catacombs.
Aura
knows ALL the dirty secrets of Ming's palace.
She's
also as treacherous as her old man.
Their
initial co-adventures are very similar on paper and
film.
