I am pondering a new list project for Savage Arts & Sciences, which will require me to watch all three Flash Gordon movie serials yet again. Don't worry—I relish the idea of rewatching these classics (especially if I can justify it terms of a project). It appears it may be a long time before I will get a chance to add to the lists based on the original comic strips (as the publication of the reprints have been disrupted), so the next step is to start compiling new lists based exclusively on the appearance of beasts, peoples, and technology as they appear (alphabetically and chronologically) in the three movie serials. This will underscore the similarities and differences between the two forms of media as they pertain to Flash Gordon, and it will separate the lists to make them easier to consult.
For clarity, I will preface the title of new lists with their type of medium. For instance, one of the lists will be entitled, "Movie Serials: Beasts of Mongo (Alphabetical)." I will not be renaming the original lists, however, as they refer to the original medium (comic strips).
