Flash Gordon Classic Collection Vol. 7 collects Dan Barry’s strips from 1967 to 1971

Posted on by Leave a comment

Flash Gordon’s legacy continues with the Flash Gordon Collection Vol. 7, the latest hardcover release from Mad Cave Studios in partnership with King Features, marking a pivotal stretch of the iconic Sunday strip under the stewardship of legendary cartoonist Dan Barry.

A must-have for Flash Gordon fans, collectors, and readers interested in the foundations of science fiction storytelling in comics, this Classic Collection highlights Barry at his most confident and expansive, pushing the series into strange new worlds while grounding it in the enduring heroism that defines Flash Gordon.

Strap yourself in for another rip-roaring romp through the many worlds of Flash Gordon. From the icy cold surface of Pluto, to the Death Planet, to a dimension populated by living machines… These are the continuing adventures of Flash Gordon, science fiction’s most enduring and heroic icon.

The Death Planet reprints the first four years of Dan Barry’s Flash Gordon Sunday strips from July 30, 1967, to July 18, 1971, starting with Mac Raboy’s last strip, Captured on Pluto, which Dan completed. This volume also includes an interview with Dan Barry’s long-time art assistant Bob Fujitani and a feature on Dan Barry and Harry Harrison written by comic strip expert Rick Norwood.

Flash Gordon is one of the defining pillars of science fiction adventure, originating in 1934 and shaping the visual language of the genre across comics, film, and television. Carried forward by artists like Alex Raymond, Mac Raboy, and Dan Barry, the strip remains a lasting symbol of heroism and exploration—one that Flash Gordon Classic Collection Vol. 7 continues while offering a snapshot of a creator’s craft.

This thrilling new collection arrives June 23, 2026 (FOC June 6), in hardcover (ISBN: 9781545827055 | $49.99).

Stan Lee (w) • Dan Barry, Floro Dery (a) • Floro Dery (c)

The woebegone web-slinger encounters problems that make Dar Harat seem like a sewing circle—if he can escape from their clutches, that is! Daily Bugle writer Jenny Sue Saxton arrives and falls for Peter Parker while trying to become Spider-Man’s biographer, even as Aunt May faces financial ruin in a very modern kind of bank heist. Mary Jane returns just in time to learn an important secret—and to introduce Peter to her Uncle Spencer Watson. Spidey’s reputation is under fire when he’s accused of pushing drugs. And in a story that rivals the classic “drug issues” of Spider-Man’s comic book, Stan Lee addresses one of the most heart-rending problems of modern times: child abuse.
