Flash Gordon #16 Cover B Miguel Mercado Variant

NEW CREATIVE TEAM TAKES FLASH TO NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN STARS! Legendary comics writer and novelist Dan Abnett and veteran artist Manuel Garcia launch an all-new era of epic adventure! Flash Gordon is grounded! With Mongo now an impossible distance away, and Earth's governments reacting to the potential dangers of alien worlds, space travel is now reserved for the experts...and a former football player-turned-sword-wielding rabble rouser isn't making the cut. But when a huge object--a meteor? a planet?--appears on a collision path with Earth, Flash will leave the experts in the dust. With a bootleg spaceship courtesy of Doctor Zarkov and fiery backup in the form of Dale Arden, Flash blasts off on an intercept course. But the Earth Rocketry Administration isn't far behind--and astronaut Dane “Ditch” Albright is not about to let Flash Gordon steal his spotlight. A rivalry for the ages, a new alien world, and threats deadlier than ever--adventure awaits for fans new and old!
