Description
Description: The comic strip follows the adventures of Flash Gordon, a handsome polo player and Yale graduate, and his companions Dale Arden and Dr. Hans Zarkov. The story begins with Earth bombarded by fiery meteors. Dr. Zarkov believes the meteors are from outer space and invents a rocket ship to locate their place of origin. Half mad, he kidnaps Flash and Dale, whose plane has crashed in the area, and the three travel to the planet Mongo, where they discover the meteors are weapons devised by Ming the Merciless, evil ruler of Mongo.

Blasting off with his friend to the uninhabited swamp-planet Malagua the very same evening, Flash is about to learn a fascinating secret from Zarkov?s past before being thrust into a dangerous game of betrayal and revenge - and a desperate battle for survival...
