Flash Gordon v4 #4 - Al Williamson art & cover

Al Williamson

5. Flash Gordon v4 #4, 1967 - Flash Gordon and friends fend off an ethereal, alien version of a pteranadon on this Al Williamson cover. The creature seems strangely incomplete, in contrast with the same scene inside. Still, the artist's contributions in this issue are exceptional. A Secret Agent X-9 tale separates the feature stories, while offering a brief change in genre. Williamson's two Flash Gordon tales are even more breathtaking, filled with fantastical landscapes and inventive creatures. His level of detail is painstaking, adding textural elements and bold brushwork to almost every panel. This issue is among the finest works of his long career. This is 3 of 4 Flash Gordon v4 issues by Williamson. /// Top 10 Williamson comics.
