Lot of FOUR Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon Comic Book archive Hardcover Vol 1-4?

About this deal

This is a complete set of the Checker Book Publishing Group hardcover reprints of Alex Raymond's classic Flash Gordon Sunday newspaper strips. Here is the description: Flash Gordon, created by Alex Raymond in 1934, is arguably the most famous science fiction comic strip of all time, following Flash and his companions Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov as they battle the evil Ming the Merciless on the planet Mongo. Raymond is regarded, alongside Milton Caniff and Hal Foster, as one of the three giants of newspaper adventure strip artists. This lot brings together the first four volumes in the Checker Book Publishing Group archival hardcover series, covering Raymond's original Sunday strips from 1934 through to 1940. Each volume is a hardcover measuring 12 inches by 9 inches and runs to 100 pages, presented in full colour. The landscape layout is used to best display Raymond's near-cinematographic design. Raymond is known for his wildly imaginative stories and sprawling extraterrestrial landscapes that inspired countless writers and artists, creating a visual imagery that persists in the science fiction genre to this day. A highly sought-after out-of-print set, ideal for collectors and fans of classic comic strip art.
