An Illustrated Guide The Flash Gordon Serials 1936-1940 Second Edition


Long before Star Trek, Star Wars and other movie space epics existed there were the amazing adventures of Flash Gordon as played by actor Buster Crabbe.

The serialized black and white space adventures featured a diabolical villain, amazing and exotic planetary locations, cutting-edge (for the time) spaceships, ray guns and various scientific gadgets, strange aliens and more.

Each and every thrilling episode is examined, explained and includes comments, a synopsis, cast and crew information and screen dates in An Illustrated Guide The Flash Gordon Serials 1936-1940 Second Edition.

Every episode also includes black and photos and additional information is listed in the back of the book. 

Everything you need to know about the Flash Gordon movie serial is included in this oversize softbound book written and researched by Roy Kinnard, Tony Crkovich and R.J. Vitone and published by McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers

If you've never had the chance to watch the old serial episodes, do so.  It's easy to see how George Lucas was inspired to create Star Wars and how director Steven Spielberg fell in  love with science fiction and adventure films.

Prepare to blast off!

Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
