"Flash. A-ah. Saviour of the Universe." I remember the first time I saw the movie Flash Gordon. I had already seen Star Wars and Star Trek, but this seemed even stranger, bolder. And that Queen soundtrack! I was in love. Now, Mad Cave Studios are introducing Flash Gordon to a new comic book audience with the all-star team of Jeremy Adams and Will Conrad. Issue #1 hits your LCS on July 24th and I just had to sit down with both Jeremy and Will to hear all about it. We talk about the difficult task of making something that will appeal to both old and new fans and what sets Flash Gordon apart from other pulp sci-fi heroes. It's also great to hear Jeremy and Will sing the praises of their fellow collaborators colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer Taylor Esposito. I've been a fan of Jeremy's writing for some time now and was excited to tell him I loved the Scoobynatural episode of Supernatural. Do not miss this episode! "Flash, Flash, I love you. But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth. Flash."
