Flash Gordon
Flash Gordon is the hero of a space opera adventure comic strip originally drawn by Alex Raymond.〔"Flash Gordon", in Guy Haley (editor) ''Sci-Fi Chronicles : A Visual History of the Galaxy's Greatest Science Fiction'' .Richmond Hill, Ontario : Firefly Books, 2014. ISBN 9781770852648. (p69-73).〕 First published January 7, 1934, the strip was inspired by and created to compete with the already established ''Buck Rogers'' adventure strip.〔Peter Nicholls, John Brosnan, John Platt, Gary Westfahl and John Stevenson.

The ''Flash Gordon'' comic strip has been translated into a wide variety of media, including motion pictures, television and animated series. The latest version, a ''Flash Gordon'' television series, appeared on the United States Syfy in 2007–2008.
==Creation==
The ''Buck Rogers'' comic strip had been very commercially successful, spawning novelizations and children's toys.〔Doug Murray, "Birth of a Legend", in Alex Raymond and Don Moore, ''Flash Gordon : On the Planet Mongo: Sundays 1934-37''. London : Titan Books, 2012.ISBN 9780857681546 (p. 10-15).〕 King Features Syndicate decided to create their own science fiction comic strip to compete with it.〔 At first King Features tried to purchase the rights to the John Carter of Mars stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs; however, the syndicate were unable to reach an agreement with Burroughs.〔"Mrs Jensen, ERB's secretary, recalled the author negotiating with King Features Syndicate for a Martian strip, based on the exploits of John Carter, but it never came off. A short time later the Hearst syndicate started "Flash Gordon", drawn by Alex Raymond..." Robert W. Fenton, ''Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan : A Biography of the author and his creation''.Jefferson, N.C. : McFarland, 2003. ISBN 078641393X (p. 125)〕 King Features then turned to Alex Raymond, one of their staff artists, to create the story.〔〔 Raymond's first samples were dismissed for not containing enough action sequences. Raymond reworked the story and sent it back to the syndicate, who accepted it. Raymond was partnered with ghostwriter Don Moore (1904-1986), an experienced editor and writer.〔 Raymond's first ''Flash Gordon'' story appeared in January 1934, alongside ''Jungle Jim''. The ''Flash Gordon'' strip was well received by newspaper readers, becoming one of the most popular American comic strips of the 1930s.〔〔〔 Like ''Buck Rogers'', the success of ''Flash Gordon'' resulted in numerous licensed products being sold, including pop-up books, colouring books, and toy spaceships and rayguns.〔Doug Murray, "Flash Gordon Conquers The World", in Alex Raymond and Don Moore, ''Flash Gordon :the Tyrant of Mongo, Sundays 1937-41''. London : Titan Books, 2012.ISBN 9780857683793 (pp. 6-9).〕
