The world's greatest pictorial supplement of humor and adventure. The big comic weekly, each page printed in full colors, is distributed everywhere as an integral part of your Earth's Sunday newspaper. Last week you may remember Flash and Dale and Khan, captain of the Hoffman, flew in a rocket ship to the yawning mouth of Pira, a wild and forbidding cave world. While they were escaping from a fierce band of lizard men who attacked them during a scouting expedition, they were seen by tall, the chief magician of the blue magic men.

1:00Tall hurried with the news to his beautiful queen, Azura, who attracted by Flash's blonde hair and wonderful physique, decided to get acquainted with him. By means of magic, sleep gas, Azura captured the three friends. Then she gave Flash lithium the drug of forgetfulness so that he could not remember who he was or what had happened. And then Azura caused Flash to fall in love with her. At first Dale and Khan misunderstood Flash's failure to recognize them. Later they realized it must be some of Azura's magic and attempted to poison her. But the plot fails when the queen ordered Dale to serve Flash first. For favor sweetheart, Dale drops the trace filling the poison food and Azura furious of the apparent clumsiness, auditors punished. Now we continue the story. Back in the kingdom of the Hoffman, King Holtan and Dr. Zarkov are talking together. Uh, Prince Zarkov, the palace seems in place, in that pretty little bird flew away with Flash Gordon. Yes, Wolf Tarny does. I misplash and Dale also. But I suppose we shall never hear from them again.

2:02Not until he has conquered his kingdom of the caves and put it in running order. But Captain Khan to help him that should not long. He is an excellent soldier. Yes, they should be to lose him. Oh, you are newest inventions coming along by the way, Zarkov. Blendedly, splendidly. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful apparatus and laboratory you have turned over to me. It is an inventor's paradise. Yes, that's what it is, an inventor's paradise. Well, for is the latest creation of your great brain? It is it. I think you are part of Wolf Tarny, but I do not speak of it until I have tested it thoroughly. There must be no mistake, no flaw when I give it to the kingdom. Oh, of course, of course. I like your passions of being precise, Zarkov. Someone is trying to get you on the space phone. Answer, Zarkov. At once, Wolf Tarny. He is Zarkov speaking. What?

3:03Where? Who is Zarkov? When I come to Lieutenant. I can't hear you. You what? Hold on. King Flash and Dale and Khan are captured by Azura Queen of the Blue Magikmen. The Lieutenant wants help. Let him be sent at once. Find out his exact position. Wolf Tarny says he will send aid at once. What is your exact position? Let him be in charge of the men. Yes? Yes? I have just been told I am to be in charge of the relief expedition. I shall stop within the hour. Within the hour. Within the hour. In the kitchen of the powers of Azura. Queen of the Blue Magikmen. We find Dale and Khan. Come on out. We will not pass that. Cheer up, Princess Dale. I can't this year for the way things are, Captain Khan. Only Azura hadn't asked me to say the food to smash. Well, she did. There was nothing to be done about it. It wasn't your fault, Princess. It was the fate of the guard. I would like to hear that prayer about it, Khan.

4:04We must figure out a way to foil her magical power. Stop your whispering. Go back to it. Have one, Scarg. There is no way here. Come on out. I don't see how I can help you for the Queen. She had me came to the stove. There's punishment. No, I can't even see flesh anymore. Yes, you can, Princess. Khan. The gain on your mana close will permit you to walk to the end of the Galatol there. From that point you can look out the real window into the garden. No doubt, Flash will sometimes walk by. He was the Queen. Yes, I'm afraid Azura will be with him. He can't see anything. I'm afraid Azura will be with him. I'm afraid Azura will be with him. She seems to have claimed him as her own personal property. Khan. Yes, Princess. You don't think that Flash has really fallen in love with her? By my sword, I swear, King Flash is the witch. He doesn't know where he is or what he's doing. I know he wasn't pretending when he failed to recognize me. What makes you so sure? His eyes had a dull and glassy look. I guess. I remember. I saw that too.

5:06When he looked at me, it was as though he looked through me instead of asking. If only I could reach my men. Yes, if there are any less. I don't know what happened after Azura broke that cast bomb in our faces. Captain Khan, if you obey all the guards ordered, they may put you on parole or something. That may give you the freedom to call us. An excellent idea. Excellent. Thank you, Princess. Thank you. I will be the most obedient slave in the kitchen. And see if that will hurt me some privileges. I will obey too. Oh, Captain Khan, we must be something to save Flash and that wicked woman. Do not worry, Princess. We will find a way somehow. Here, you'll carry that kettle over to the table. Certainly, Guard. Let me take this one also. Meanwhile, roaring through space in a fleet of rocket ships with friends, Zakhoth and Command,

6:07an army of Hawkmen are hurrying on their way to aid our friends. Suddenly, they're looms up in front of them, a whole squadron of Cloudmen, with huge, billowing cloak. Joining hands and spreading the cloak, the Cloudmen form an opaque and impenetrable wall before the rocket ship. The Hawkmen fight a maneuver above them, but they rise at the same speed. Then the Hawkmen fight a fly below them, with a drop-like lightning and presenter solid barrier. Wheeling the fleet around, Zakhoth's sigils for the dissolve of guns mounted on the nose of each rocket ship, to start firing. Shot after shot, is fired at the white billow, until the pass of the Hawkmen has been cleared. Then, the Zakhoth sigils for double-speed ahead did make up for lost time. At the same time, in the palace of Azura, flashes entertained by the queens. At Gold Armor, isn't worthy of you, my prince. I must see you at this my armor and make something more history. My beautiful Azura is about a symbol of your service.

7:08Even if it were made of the most precious and rare metals to be obtained and studied with jewels, my loyalty to you and your cause could not be greater. You do love me, don't you, fly? I know of no one in the past present or even the future, for whom I have felt such a deep love in my gorgeous dreams. No one in my handsome prince? No one. You and you alone, I love. It is sweet. Very sweet to hear your sweet, those words. As long as you do and mean them, I will reward you well. To be with you, to be allowed to serve and love you with all the reward I desire, my darling. I shall have to think of some special privilege for that tradition. Then let me kiss your hand. Here, my prince. There, hand. So delicate, so shapely. How many men have lost their hearts and their heads trying to gain? Flasera. I only speak for my own reactions, Azura. I know that I should be willing to risk everything to win you for myself. We shall see. We shall see. Flasera, I must give some orders to the seven.

8:08Do I think the garden and the waste for me? I will join you, praisesless. Your flight is to wish of the command by beautiful ones. Flasera. Flasera. What? Who's calling me? It's Dale. Dale Argy. Oh, there you are. I see you now. There in that grilled window. What are you doing there, girl? I'm a prisoner here, Flasera. Ever since I dropped that tray of booze. Oh, yes, I wondered where I'd seen you. You tripped and the Zura ordered you punished. He has had me came to the galley stone. My came just reaches to the window. Are you all right, Flasera? Am I all right? Of course I am. Why shouldn't I be? If you think Azura had punished me for something too? No. I just wanted to know how you are. Well, that's very kind of you, girl. And since you've taken such an interest in my welfare, I'll take an interest in yours. How can you? You're too young and pretty to be made a prisoner in the kitchen. I'll ask Azura to free you. Oh, no, you mustn't. Muscles? Who says so?

9:08I'll ask Azura at once. Oh, no, Flasera. You mustn't. The ship where the handfuls of survivors who come, squadrons, are waiting. The fleet lands and Prince Zarkov is the first to get out. The lieutenant who calvaryed on the space-borne comes up to him. Well, what is the latest news, lieutenant? We were afraid something had happened to you, Prince Zarkov. We were delayed in a scourmage with a cloud-man. What is the latest report on the fleet of my friends? So we don't know what happened to them. After the blue magic men captured St. Flashe and Princess Dale, and our captain, they blasted the tunnel leading to their lands, killing most of our men. Is that any chance that flash and his companions are still alive?

10:10Who knows? That's the land of magic. I have brought a battery of ray cannons with us. We will blast Starway to my friends. One aware of their impending danger as Zura and Tauk, and foreign the palace of the blue magic men. Do you understand, Tauk? For perfectly your majesty. That is nothing too good in my whole kingdom for my new prince. As every wish I'll be obeyed, old queen. It's like this twin full-feet old. I do not know what I shall do with his companions. They are a problem. I do not want them around, and yet I cannot execute them. If the lithium should well off, and flash discovered what I had done. Zura! Zura! Zura! Flashe. I told him I would only be a minute. The dear boy is so mad about me. He cannot bear to hand me out of his sight. Zura! Zura! Open the door, Tauk.

11:10At once, so clean. Here I am, Flashe. Zura, will you do... Oh, what? I beg your pardon. I didn't know you were so busy. Oh, oh, come quickly. I am summoned to your majesty. Have I your permission? Yes, Tauk. Go. Yes, your majesty. Well, Flashe, will you lonely without me? Is that why you came calling for me? Zura, you're good and kind. This sounds like a man who has a saber to us. I have my green. I'll get it. It shall be granted. Thank you, Zura. I knew you were kind and good. You will be so grateful. She? Who? The girl who trips while serving a food the other night. There. Was the saber you asked for her? Yes. She called me from a window of the kitchens and told me she was changed as a galleysau. Well? I promised to ask you to free her. And you have. Wait. I thought the saber was for yourself, Flashe. Not one of my prisoners. Nothing I need for myself, Zura.

12:10And the girl is too young and too pretty to deserve such a fate. I thought you just some kind. Do not cause me to change my mind. You make it hard for me, Snashe. I've never played a prisoner in my life. I... You're not this thing. What does this unceremonious entity mean, Tarl? I did not tend for you. I only played your part in your majesty, but I have used the most extreme urgency. Speak, then. My land is being invaded by the hawk men. Hawk men. You must go forth to war. The army must be caught out. I will test the signal. And always to lead your men into battle, all clean. Of course. And at the point someone to head beyond. Will you lead our men into battle, Flashe? Your majesty. Serving as your commander in chief would be a threat of my queen.
