Comments: Flash Gordon is a prisoner on the Planet of Death. Flash has accepted his fate until he learns Dale Arden needs saving. Flash is going to save Dale and he has a healer to help him. The robot jailor has a nice design to him. Once Flash escapes his bonds you can see the hero he is as he stands ready for action. Action is exactly what he gets and dishes out. Flash is all action as he battles hiis way through his prison. Once Flash gets going he is unstoppable. The reptilian aliens in charge of the jail are illustrated as no nonsense guards and the weapons they carry are a wonderful futuristic design.
The one monstrous creature is a frightening sight as it makes its presence known.
What is going on here with the new Empress? This is definitely a surprise.
The story flows by so fast its over before you know it. You get a brief introduction to the main characters and are filled in on the situation.
So will Flash save Dale and save the universe? Will he want to?
