Squa Tront

From 1967 to 1975, EC Comics veteran Jerry Weist revived the classic sci-fi newspaper strip Flash Gordon for a six-issue comic series under the Squa Tront banner. Anchored by frequent writers Al Feldstein and Bill Gaines, the series featured lush, cinematic artwork from illustrators like Al Williamson and Bernie Krigstein, who brought a dynamic, EC-style intensity to the space-faring adventures. A short but notable entry in the Silver Age, Squa Tront stands as a late-career collaboration between legendary EC talents, offering a polished, adult-tinged take on the iconic hero that bridged the gap between the strip’s pulpy origins and the emerging comic-book sensibilities of the era.
