The Adventure Continues! Flash Gordon and friends return in a brand-new adventurous anthology filled with sci-fi action and humor! Featuring stories by the most awesome cartoonists in the galaxy! Will Flash Gordon be able to stop an evil robot in time to meet his friends at the amusement park, or will it be destroyed before he gets there? Can Dale save Flash and Princess Aura from the worst day ever? Who has a bigger ego, Ming or Flash? All of these questions and more will be answered in this exciting new collection of short stories that focus on friendship, trust and doing the right thing against impossible odds.

Art Baltazar said of the project, "Working on FLASH GORDON Adventures is awesome! Reliving the stories I had in my imagination since childhood is so cool to see translated into comic book form! I am looking forward to seeing how other cartoonists continue this epic adventure with volume 2! I really dig working with PAPERCUTZ! It's like hanging out with my fellow space adventurers!"

Illustrator Franco Aureliani echoed Baltazar. "Flash Gordon Adventures was so much fun the first time, I had to come back for another run at the silliness in space! So great to be in this new book with so many talented writers and artists! Returning to Flash, Dale and the rest and Papercutz is like being home!"

Stan Sakai said, "I grew up reading the classic Alex Raymond Flash Gordon and this version is a fun new take on the characters. I really enjoyed it!"

Maria Scrivan, "I had so much fun researching and learning about Flash Gordon and all of the characters, and had the best time working with the creative team at Papercutz. It was an honor and a blast to be part of this project!"

John Patrick Green said, "I've been a fan of Art and Franco for years, and always love their takes on iconic characters. It was a joy to contribute to their interpretation of Flash Gordon!"

The project's editor, Adam Wallenta, said, "This is a dream project of mine. When we first started this series, my goal was to work with the best cartoonists in the industry, both celebrated legends and the best upcoming talent, to create a fun introduction to classic characters for readers of all-ages graphic novels. This volume features 20 of the greatest cartoonists and each short story is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It's always an honor, as an editor, to work with such incredibly talented people I am a fan of– and in this volume I also got to work with my son, Keola, who came up with the idea for a brand new character named Cat Gordon, after being introduced to the world of Flash Gordon. Now I get to help usher in the next generation of creators alongside celebrated legends. I think about how I was just a kid when I first started reading Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai in the early-eighties, and now to see him work his magic on Flash Gordon- it's been a true honor."

We hope you'll join us in announcing the latest adventures of Flash Gordon! The book is available for preorder now wherever books are sold, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Bookshop. Please reach out to James Faccinto of Mad Cave Studios at [email protected] if you have any questions.
