- IDW's Library of American Comics is producing The Definitive Flash Gordon & Jungle Jim as part of the Ultimate Alex Raymond Collection. Edited by Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney, The Definitive Flash Gordon & Jungle Jim will present every Sunday by Raymond from both classic strips together for the first time, in the oversized 12" x 16" champagne edition format.
- Created by Raymond in 1934, Flash Gordon is arguably the most famous science fiction comic strip of all time. It follows the adventures of the title character and his companions, Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov, as they leave Earth to discover the source of meteors that are threatening the planet, and get waylaid on the planet Mongo, where they battle the evil Ming the Merciless. The three Earthlings encounter one strange race after another, from the water-breathing Shark-Men of the Undersea Kingdom, the winged Hawkmen, and the ferocious Tusk-Men. All the while, Flash finds himself in the arms of one beautiful woman after another — much to Dale Arden's chagrin.
- Jungle Jim was created as a strip topper for Flash Gordon, and followed the life of Jim Bradley, who fought pirates, slave traders, and assorted villains in the exotic Southeast Asia of the 1930s. This neglected Raymond classic also features Jim's native cohort Kolu and femme fatale Lille DeVrille.

Finally someone gets it right!!
By Diego Cordoba
This must certainly be the definitive edition/book collection of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon comic strip. It's reproduced along with the original Jungle Jim topper. You have already heard about the book's huge size. Now what about the quality inside? Contrary to what one reviewer said, complaining about the quality, please bear in mind that for this volume they scanned the original newspaper Sunday pages were the strip was printed. Those of you expecting to see a book containing scans from Alex Raymond's original art can keep on dreaming, as that will never be possible (most of the original art is already lost or scattered all over the world and in the hands of art collectors and fans). Sure, there are a couple of imperfections due to the printing process of the time (the mid-thirties), but I've compared this book with the volumes Kitchen Sink put out in the late eighties and/or early nineties (which by the way, many fans believe to be the definitive version, quality-wise), and this version by IDW is far superior. I don't know what Sunday newspapers they used, but they certainly got hold of the best. You can really see Raymond's bold brush strokes come through very clearly and uncluttered, and the color is constantly subdued, clear and not garish or murky at all, as opposed to that of the Kitchen Sink book again (which at the time, I never thought could be topped). Also, for those of you who might believe the artwork isn't big enough, it's actually larger than those of the previous other books published in America or elsewhere. Though I must say that I never got the version published by Checker, as they had apparently used the same source as Kitchen Sink. Anyone out there who has those books might want to compare them with this one by IDW also.
This book is printed on heavy stock mat paper, to avoid the glare you get from reading on a more glossy and shiny paper. Plus, as I said before, you get the Jungle Jim topper, which has rarely been reprinted and/or collected in book-form before.
By the way, Titan is planning on reprinting the Flash Gordon strip as well. Well, they've got a tough book to beat. This certainly will remain the definitive version of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. I can hardly wonder how it can be topped or surpassed, this side of getting hold of the original artwork, which is an impossibility. And since this version already surpasses by far the one by Kitchen Sink, I believe it will remain the definitive one.
If you're a fan of Alex Raymond and Flash Gordon, this is the book to BUY!!! And remember, you're getting Jungle Jim as well for the same price. If that isn't the comic strip deal of the century, I don't know what is.
Now, IDW, about that other strip Alex Raymond drew... you know, the one Dashiell Hammett wrote, what was it? Secret agent something or another? How about publishing it in the near future as well. I missed the version Kitchen Sink put out way back, and only have a French edition...

Look at the size of that thing!!!
By Tim Hewitt
Just received my copy of "Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim" Vol. 1. Wow. Now this is a book that makes an impression. It is without question the largest comic strip reprint volume I've ever seen (considerably larger than Fantagraphic's current generously sized - and lovely - "Prince Valiant" series and their even larger than those "Captain Easy" volumes). There's not a lot I can really say about Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon that you don't already know. If you're looking at this item or reading this review, I'm sure you don't have to be sold on Flash. You already want it. At approximately 16 x 12, these Flash Gordon pages are printed at or near the size readers would have seen them on first publication. AND you get the pages as they've never been reprinted with the "Jungle Jim" strips at the top of the page. Size aside, the entire book is what you would expect of a quality IDW/LAC production (although I can already hear some getting ready to complain that the strips are printed too small!). Quality paper, sharp reproduction and vivid colors, this probably as good as Flash Gordon (and Jungle Jim) ever looked. And these Sunday pages from 1934 - 1936 are still early Alex Raymond before his art really begins to soar. The best is yet to come. I can't wait for the remaining three volumes in the series, but I may have to build and extra room onto the house just to have some place to put them!

Definitive edition? Yes, but.
By V. Orselli
Reviewers have been calling the IDW edition of Flash Gordon the "definitive edition." They may be right, but this is not a black and white proposition. Kitchen Sink can still be considered for that claim.
First as far as strip sizes, prior to the strip going to the full page format, the IDW reprint strips are slightly bigger (less than 1/4 inch) than the Kitchen Sink Edition. Almost unnoticeable. Both editions still reprint those early Sunday strips in too small a size. However, when they go to the full page format, the Kitchen Sink edition is significantly bigger than the IDW -like 1/3 bigger. However, Kitchen Sink splits each page into 2 landscape pages. I prefer the original full newspaper page format. In the later strips, non full-page format. IDW comes out ahead.
Sharpness of reproduction. Kitchen Sink's reproductions are arguably better than IDW, quite sharp and brightly colored, and the effect is enhanced by their using glossy paper, similar to printing a photo on photographic paper rather than on matte paper. However, I think the matte effect is closer to the original newspaper version.
Other IDW plusses: IDW's reprinting of Jungle Jim at the top of each page. Jungle Jim previously was only available in a Pacific Comics edition- some 12-16 large landscape pages- $15.00 each volume and some 35-40 volumes. Quite costly. IDW's inclusion restores the original Sunday page format and gives the readers an excellent bonus. Also the miscellaneous features at the top of some Sunday pages (Flash Gordon, Dale Arden in various space fashions, etc ) are a nice touch.
Overall then, IDW comes out ahead. And the book truly is a work of art. But the Kitchen Sink series is still quite good.
