“I’m revelling in this opportunity to create new stories for Flash Gordon,” said Dan Abnett. “He’s simply an iconic character, and one who has stayed with us through the years. This is a fresh start, but we’ll be acknowledging and honoring the great legacy of stories that have gone before. We’re taking the classic trio of Flash, Dale, and Zarkov on an epic new voyage (they are such great personalities to write), and adding some new supporting characters to push and test the interpersonal dynamics. There will be shocks! Twists! Surprises! New alien threats! A bold new status quo! And I’m lucky to be working with Manuel, who, let me just say, is producing the most amazing art. Every time pages come in, my jaw drops. I hope we do justice to the legend that is Flash Gordon… looking at the art, I think we’re going to!”
As a lover of classic comic strips and characters, illustrating Flash Gordon is a dream come true for artist Manuel Garcia:
“When Mad Cave offered me Flash Gordon, I started playing the Queen movie song on a loop, so much so that my family threatened to throw me out of our house. Drawing a character so important to the history of comics is a privilege, something to tell my grandsons and granddaughters!”
