Flash Gordon's 90th Anniversary

First Flash Gordon comic strip.

Happy Flash Gordon Day!

On this day in 1934, the first Flash Gordon comic strip was published in newspapers. Created by artist Alex Raymond, its influence on comic art and, indeed, on science fiction across all media, is incalculable. Today, we celebrate 90 Earth years of Flash Gordon.

Long live Flash!
