It came at a time when illustrators like Foster, Sickles, Caniff, Godwin and Salinas were at the height of their game and people dutifully followed the newspaper day-to-day (or Sunday-to-Sunday) to read the adventures of their favorite hero. Today, we have to rely on reprints to find these wonderful stories. The thing is, there have been many, many reprints of the Raymond Sundays. In 1971, Nostalgia Press began publishing several excellent volumes of the Sundays first in black and white and then color. In 1990. Kitchen Sink redid the whole process. More recently, in 2011, IDW began publishing the Definitive Flash Gordon hardcovers. So, Raymond’s version of Flash is well covered from 1934-1944. In 2003, Dark Horse began reprinting the nearly 20 years of Mac Raboy’s work on Flash Gordon (1948-1967) in four books. What has long been missing is the four years from 1944-48 drawn by another accomplished illustrator, Austin Briggs. Those episodes have rarely been collected and this volume finally brings together all of Briggs’ stories together in one place... save the first story in the last Titan volume (and volume 4 of the IDW series).The stories themselves were not high literature. More often than not, they involved Flash landing in some new kingdom of Mongo during his quest (during these years) to battle Kang, the son of the emperor Ming who Flash vanquished in earlier stories. Invariably, along the way, Flash encountered beautiful Queens (who first fall in love with him, making Dale jealous) or egotistical Kings fearful that Flash will usurp them. They then imprisoned him, pitted him against strange alien creatures, threatened his life, put him through a deadly trial or two and then Flash is either released or escaped to move on to the next adventure. One interesting thing in these stories is Kang's development of an "atomic weapon'. Done in 1946, this has to be inspired by the first atomic bombs, and when Flash explodes them he warns soldiers to avoid the deadly radiation.Regardless of the stories, the high point of this book is the art. As the strip developed from 1944-1948, you see that Briggs art got stronger and stronger and arguably proved to be a more than able replacement for Raymond. In fact, Briggs work was popular enough that when Raymond returned from serving in the Marines after WWII, he was not asked to return to Flash; instead Briggs continued Flash and Raymond created Rip Kirby – another classic.From the notes, this book was compiled from proof sheets of the strip and while published to scale at 10 x 7" (w x h) these are smaller than originally published in the newspaper (14 x 10") and do not fill the page, leaving a 1.5” border at the top and bottom of each page . Sadly, those are my two complaints about the volume. To me, a lot of the color obscures the details of the art (I hate to say it, I’d prefer B&W), and the text is small to begin with and difficult for my aging eyes to read; thus 4 stars rather than 5. I realize that the format of these books had already been set with the first three Titan volumes, and to make the pages larger would have required a book about 3” wider, however it sure would have helped the readability of the entire line if that had been done from the start.Regardless, I am very happy Titan finally published this volume (I think it had been cancelled once). It is nice to see Briggs version of Flash! Great art; good fun. And, as I said, it’s about time.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Austin Briggs Takes up the Pen By James Elfers Alex Raymond may never be surpassed as a comic strip illustrator, Austin Briggs, a very talented draftsman occasionally pinch hit for him. When Raymond joined up to fight World War II, Briggs took over the "Flash Gordon" strip full time. This collection is four stars because NO ONE could have filled Raymond's shoes, not even a gifted understudy. The change in artists is noticeable immediately. This is especially true when it comes to how Dale Arden and the other females are drawn. Raymond had a genius for the female form. He also delighted in exposing as much of the strip's heroine's skin as was legally permissible. Gone are the days of Dale exiting bathtubs and being flogged by female baddies. The older Briggs seems uncomfortable with such exposure. Still maintained, however, is the breathtaking scale and spectacle. Mongo looks and feels like a real place. Don Moore continued to write the script so there is no drop off in writing quality. Yes, it is a space opera in all senses of the word. Romance subplots spring up constantly. The strip was designed to appeal to a wide audience, kids, wives, husbands, and teens. The audience for this book no doubt skews male and older, who will find much to enjoy in this collection. The reproduction is beautiful, nicely filling the page and full of all of the lavish original color. If you read volumes 1-3 you MUST own volume four as well. If you have not purchased the previous volumes of this series, this is a wonderful introduction to the magical world of Flash Gordon.

The plots were... well it was a comic strip from long ago. I'm a fan, but it didn't add much to my knowledge of Flash and the world of Mongo. Dale's jealousy gets old fast.
