Flash Gordon Movie Special

A single, oversized issue published by K. G. Murray in 1980, the Flash Gordon Movie Special capitalized on the theatrical release of the 1980 film. This one-shot offered a comic adaptation of the movie, bringing the space-faring hero's cinematic adventure to the printed page in a format distinct from the ongoing newspaper strips. It stands as a unique, era-specific tie-in for Australian readers, capturing the film's visual flair in a standalone package.
