This is an original framed comic page featuring the iconic hero Flash Gordon. Flash Gordon was created in 1934 by Alex Raymond, and in addition to the title character features Dale Arden (his girlfriend), and Dr. Hans Zarkov (Scientist). His most famous enemy was Ming The Merciless from the planet Mongo. The popularity of the comic strip translated to film, both in the 1930s with Buster Crabbe in the title role and much later in 1980 with the iconic music of Queen.

This page is from a 1939 comic magazine and therefore is an early publication.

Flash had many allies and enemies in his space travels over the years of publication. In this storyline, the adversary was Brukka, chieftain of the giants of Frigia.

The page is large and the colours are very strong, in keeping with the item being stored for many years. It would be a great focal image for a room, and suits anyone with an interest in comics or classic graphic design.

These are classic images from the golden age of comics and are highly sought-after.

The image is mounted and ready to frame. It came from a damaged publication. It is not a later copy or reproduction. We do not break up books or magazines in good condition, all of our stock comes from damaged sources (e.g. lost cover, defaced pages). I cut all the mounts myself using quality materials.

Condition: Very good. Colours are clean and bright as exoected from an item which has been stored in the dark for 70+ years.

Overall size 16” x 20”, aperture size approx. 10” x 13.5”. This will fit a standard frame. If you are using a metric frame, you may need to make a slight adjustment for it to fit. The mount board used is conservation grade arctic white, 2.4 mm deep which gives definition to the bevelled edge.

All our images are chosen carefully for quality and a variety of subject matter. We are passionate about sourcing unusual material and hope that our enthusiasm is shared by you.

When buying from us you can be confident that the item you receive is at least 50 years old, and often much older.

We use quality materials to mount our items:
- Ph neutral tape
- Conservation grade mount board (2.4mm). Bevel edged aperture
- Image is hinge-mounted which allows it to adapt to changes in temperature/humidity, and also allows the mount to be changed easily.

The picture will be enclosed in a cellophane bag, and safely packaged between two pieces of board to minimise the danger of bending in the post.
