Flash Gordon Guy l’Éclair #[nn]

This 1988 French-language collection from J'ai lu brings Alex Raymond's celebrated Flash Gordon — here titled Guy l'Éclair — to readers under the evocative title "La Reine des neiges" (The Snow Queen). Raymond's cover artwork places a bare-chested, red-sashed Flash Gordon front and center, ray gun in hand, while an elegantly coiffed blonde woman gazes up from the foreground — hinting at the icy intrigue and adventure within. It's a wonderfully vivid showcase of Raymond's draftsmanship, with bold colors and confident linework that capture the strip's signature blend of heroism and glamour.
