Sci-fi and fantasy merge in this girl-power reimagining of Flash Gordon! Focusing on teamwork, adventures, cute critters, heroes, monsters, and the journey of leadership! Papercutz and Mad Cave Studios, in partnership with King Features, present Flash Gordon: The Girl from Infinity Vol. 2, the next chapter in the acclaimed middle-grade reimagining of one of science fiction’s most enduring heroes.
Written by GLAAD-nominated, New York Times-bestselling author Marguerite Bennett and illustrated by Bev Johnson, with colors by Abigail Paradis and letters by Morgan Martinez, this action-packed adventure blends science fiction and fantasy into a story about friendship, courage, leadership, and discovering where you belong.
She fell from a shooting star with no memory and only the faintest clues about where she came from, or why she’d been sent to this part of the world. But that didn’t stop Flash Gordon from leaping into action when her friend Dale Arden needed help. Now they’re both embroiled in a planetary war! The evil Emperor Azimuth wants to rule the alien world of Omnia—and a strange shadow power seems to be helping him. Flash fought alongside a rebel army to depose him—but they failed. Now Flash and Dale are on the run, the Emperor’s sister is under lock and key, and Omnia is in chaos. And the Emperor knows something about Flash’s origins…something even Flash doesn’t know…
With colorful worldbuilding, memorable creatures, daring adventures, and a heroine finding her place among the stars, Flash Gordon: The Girl from Infinity Vol. 2 introduces a new generation of readers to the legendary universe first created by Alex Raymond while charting an exciting path all its own.
Perfect for readers who love adventurous heroines, imaginative fantasy worlds, and epic quests, Flash Gordon: The Girl from Infinity Vol. 2 will appeal to fans of Amulet, The Last Kids on Earth, Cleopatra in Space, and Wings of Fire.

Last month The Rolling Stones announced the release of their highly anticipated new studio album Foreign Tongues, arriving July 10th from Capitol Records. The incredibly vibrant 14-track collection follows the band’s Grammy Award-winning Hackney Diamonds, which topped charts worldwide and achieved multi-platinum success. The new album was introduced with the upbeat and infectious lead single “In the Stars” and opening track “Rough and Twisted.”
Recorded during an exceptionally creative period, Foreign Tongues was brought to life in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who also helmed Hackney Diamonds. The result is a dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band’s unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy.
The album features standout performances from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, alongside their core collaborators including Darryl Jones, Steve Jordan, and Matt Clifford. It also includes a special appearance from Charlie Watts, captured during one of his final recording sessions before his passing in 2021. Additional contributions come from an impressive line-up of guest artists, including Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
