Flash Gordon Action Figures
Flash Gordon is the hero of a science fiction adventure comic strip originally drawn by Alex Raymond, which was first published on January 7, 1934. The strip, inspired by and created to compete with the already established Buck Rogers adventure strip, has since surpassed Buck Rogers for longevity. Also inspired by these series were comics such as Dash Dixon (1935 to 1939) by H.T. Elmo and Larry Antoinette and Don Dixon and the Hidden Empire (1935 to 1941) by Carl Pfeufer and Bob Moore. In Australia, the strip was retitled Speed Gordon. The change was necessary due to the negative meaning of the word "Flash" in 1930's and 1940's Australia, where it refers to someone who is flashy, showy, or vulgar. As Australian usage changed, the original US title was reinstated, certainly by the late 1960s, for the comic strip, though increasingly obscure usage of the term did continue as late as the 1970s. The Flash Gordon comic strip has been translated into a wide variety of media, including motion pictures, television and animated series. The latest version, a Flash Gordon TV series, has recently finished airing on the US Sci Fi Channel, and has just begun on the United Kingdom Sci Fi channel. Flash Gordon was also made into a 1980 science fiction film, based on the eponymous comic strip character Flash Gordon (Gordon Ferrao). The film was directed by Mike Hodges and produced by Dino De Laurentiis. It stars Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Topol, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton and Ornella Muti. The screenplay was written by Michael Allin (of Enter the Dragon fame) and Lorenzo Semple Jr. It intentionally uses a camp style similar to the 1960s TV series Batman (for which Semple had written many episodes) in an attempt to appeal to fans of the original comics and serial films.
