Flash Gordon Volume 8: Radium Mines of Electra — Don Moore

It’s 1941 and the Earth has been plunged into a global conflict by a tyrannical, fantastic megalomaniac known as The Dictator – and only one man, Flash Gordon, can save the day. However, marooned on the planet Mongo, Flash, Dale Arden, and Dr. Hans Zarkov will first have to escape Ming the Merciless’s seemingly endless supply of rocket ships and troops. In order to make it back to Earth, Flash must also battle carnivorous dinosaurs, cannibalistic ape-men, unite two warring tribes, find a hidden kingdom, and fend off two lovelorn princesses and the jealous rage of his girlfriend, Dale. ‘Radium Mines of Electra’ reprints the first two years of Austin Briggs’ four-year run on Flash Gordon from May 1940 to September 1942.
