Science Fiction’s most enduring icon, Flash Gordon is back with a new collection and a whole new attitude as he and his long-term girlfriend, Dale Arden, and their crew prepare to set off on a thrilling new adventure to explore the mysterious gas giant, Neptune. “The City of Ice” reprints the first seven complete daily strips from November 11, 1951 to October 10, 1953, and features artwork by Dan Barry, who replaced first Austin Briggs and later Mac Raboy as the main artist on Flash Gordon. He was to go on and draw both the daily and Sunday strip for the next 50 years. This collection also includes a feature on Dan Barry and writer Harvey Kurtzman and includes a gallery of rarely seen artwork.
