| Volume five of Flash Gordon includes the stories "The Ice Kingdom of Mongo", "Power Men of Mongo", and "The Fall of Ming", all originally appearing from 1940 to 1941. This quintessential science fiction title has all the trappings of what has now become the standard for modern-day sci-fi.
Alex Raymond helped shape the landscape of this genre, and this landmark work is now available in a beautiful and affordable, hardcover edition from Checker Book Publishing Group.
In some respects these may seem a little basic or even cheesy to modern, cynical eyes, yet, like the movie serials, they retain a delightful charm and a sense of sheer adventure decades on and remain an essential part of SF history. If you like this you should really read the
Classic Dan Dare
collection being reissued by Titan.
