Publisher Description. Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with King Features Syndicate, shares a new preview exclusively with ICv2 of Flash Gordon: Two Worlds Volume One, the first installment of a two-part original graphic novel, written and illustrated by award-winning cartoonist and 2026 Ringo nominee Scott Chantler (Two Generals, Northwest Passage, Three Thieves), with colors by Eisner-nominated Kike J. Díaz (The Rocketeer: The Island, Los Monstruos, Queen of Swords).
In a world where Flash Gordon never flew to space to stop him, Ming the Merciless rules over a conquered and devastated Earth. There, a nameless laborer looks to the sky and dreams of the hero he might have been. On Mongo, the Emperor’s tormented bride, Dale Arden, cannot shake the memory of a man she saw briefly on an airplane years ago, and thoughts of what might have been. Who was he? And why does it feel like they were meant to have met?
Twenty-five years and sixteen books into his career, Chantler is taking on a major licensed character for the first time with a two-volume, standalone story that returns Flash Gordon to the mid-century visual language and pulp adventure of Alex Raymond’s original comic strip and movie serials. Entirely separate from Mad Cave Studios’ other Flash Gordon series, Two Worlds looks backward to move the character forward, pairing classic heroics and adventure with an older, more existential take on Flash Gordon and the world around him.
