Flash Gordon

Comic strip character created by US cartoonist Alex Raymond (1909–56) in 1934. Flash, a Yale graduate and astronaut, starred in outer space adventures with his female companion Dale Arden.

He travelled in Dr Zarkov's home-made rocketship to thwart evil warlock Ming the Merciless, emperor of the planet Mongo. His exploits were featured in three Hollywood serials featuring US actor Buster Crabbe (1908–83), the first of which, Flash Gordon, appeared in 1936, followed by Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars (1938) and Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940). Several television dramas and animated series followed.
