Flash Gordon

In the late 1960s, Charlton Comics revived the classic space hero Flash Gordon for a seven-issue series that pitted him against a host of alien menaces. Writer Joe Gill and Bill Pearson, alongside artists Pat Boyette and Reed Crandall, delivered a fast-paced, pulp-inspired adventure strip that updated the character for a new generation. While brief, this run stands as a notable, mid-century take on the iconic swashbuckler, capturing the transitional era of comic book storytelling.
