Flash Gordon #1

Dynamite's 2014 relaunch of Flash Gordon kicks off in high-energy style, with Jeff Parker, Evan Shaner, and Jordie Bellaire bringing the space-faring hero back for "The Man from Earth." Gabriel Hardman's cover sets the tone perfectly: Flash lunges forward, fists clenched, while a dark-haired companion raises a weapon behind him — and looming over them both is a massive, reptilian creature with jaws wide open and writhing tendrils curling around its scaled body. It's the kind of pulp-adventure image that reminds you exactly why Flash Gordon has thrilled readers for generations.
