Worst Character Names of Mongo 3

The Flash Gordon Sunday strips of 1948 bring us these examples of not-so-creative character-naming:

• King Justo
• Princess Glitra
• Vilan

"'I told you the metalarm was right—It detected the metal of their weapons.' King Justo laughs. 'Doctor, will they survive the sleep-fog?'" (21 March 1948)

"Justo's weakness is his daughter. He can't refuse the sensation-hungry girl's demand to see the newcomers—so Flash's first sight is of Princess Glitra!" (28 March 1948)

"But Glitra thinks fast, too. 'Why, Dale, how nice—cousin Vilan wanted to meet you. Show her around, Vilan.' Flash and Dale can hardly object..." (4 April 1948)

Flash Gordon/Savage Worlds Thought of the Day 2024-05-22

Once I acquire the new SWADE editions of the Horror Companion and the Science Fiction Companion, I think my Savage Worlds collection will be complete (except for any future releases for The Savage World of Flash Gordon—I'll buy any books they release in that line). I missed my chance to back the Science Fiction Companion crowdfunding project, which is a pity since it was the companion volume I wanted more than any other, but I'll buy it as soon as it is available. I think I'll feel more comfortable writing my own The Savage World of Flash Gordon material after I've read the Science Fiction Companion.
