Flash Gordon #8

Two figures — Flash Gordon, ray gun at his hip, and a dark-haired woman in opposing colors — face each other across a gleaming, globe-shaped structure with Earth itself reflected between them, stars and spacecraft visible behind them in the void of space. It's a striking compositional standoff, Marc Laming's cover framing the planet as both prize and battleground in a way that feels genuinely cosmic in scale. Jeff Parker, Evan Shaner, and Jordie Bellaire bring their talents to "Stuff of Legend," this eighth issue of Dynamite's 2015 series keeping Flash Gordon's pulp-adventure spirit very much alive.
