Flash Gordon

A Portuguese reprint series that collected American Flash Gordon newspaper strips from 1980 to 1982, this 14-issue run published by Agência Portuguesa de Revistas brought the space-faring hero’s classic adventures to a new audience. Featuring the core team of Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, Dr. Hans Zarkov, and even the magician Mandrake, the series was defined by the writing of John Warner and Dan Barry, with vivid painted covers and interior art from Carlos Garzón and Frank Bolle. It stands as a distinctive European window into the enduring sci-fi serial, preserving the strip’s pulp grandeur for Portuguese readers during a transitional era for the character.
