FLASH GORDON ADVENTURESBy Art Baltazar & Franco Aureliani
Flash Gordon Adventures is an all-ages series by the award-winning creative team of Art Baltazar and Franco! Perfect for fans of Tiny Titans and Itty Bitty Hellboy!
Join Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, Dr. Zarkov and their allies from Mongo as they battle the evil tyrant, Ming the Merciless. Readers will be thrilled by Flash Gordon and his friend’s zany adventures, while enjoying valuable, but humorous life lessons learned about friendship, teamwork, and how alien-world gravity affects the digestive system, why a lizard machine is important for making new lizards and why Zarkov develops a way to make fake beards for Ming to wear.
Creator Art Baltazar said, “When I was a kid, I watched the Flash Gordon serials every weekend with my dad. Then! I played with the action figures and watched the cartoons! The cartoon had all these cool aliens and colorful characters. Flash is cool space adventuring swashbuckling hero and he did it first! When Papercutz announced FLASH GORDON, I was like, dang i know that guy. I can make some cool comics with him. So they asked and I said YES!”
Co-creator Franco Aureliani said, “I am beyond thrilled to be working with Papercutz! I’ve heard such good things and am excited to get the chance to show them what I can do with Flash Gordon Adventures! I remember the comics, cartoon and movie from when I was a kid, but now I get the chance to put my own creative effort into telling some truly unique and funny stories that I don’t think have ever really been done with Flash, Dale and the rest of the cast of characters! It’s going to be a fun ride and I hope everyone comes along and gets their funny bone tickled!”
The book’s editor, Adam Wallenta, said, “Flash Gordon Adventures! is the perfect introduction to the legendary hero for a new generation of kids and young readers. Lifelong fan and older readers will also really enjoy the humorous spin on Flash, Dale, Dr. Zarkov, Ming and the entire cast of colorful characters. When I first took the job as an editor at Papercutz, I knew I wanted to work with Art and Franco on a project because they are both brilliant cartoonists. When Mad Cave acquired the license to Flash Gordon, I immediately went to Art and Franco and proposed the idea of Flash Gordon Adventures! In no time at all, they were off and running, creating an incredible story that will have kids of all ages laughing, smiling and dreaming about faraway worlds and adventurous heroic deeds. This is a dream project to edit and I can’t wait to share it with the world. You’re going to love it!”
