All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡
Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless. Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him. Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..." 

He smiles back. "You love it."

In case you wanted to know what “Girl Phantom” would look like if you crossed her with Helen Mirren from 1923. This is a snippet from part 3 of her story my partner and I wrote.
Still waiting on parts 2 & 3 to be released, but here’s Info at www.masoncomics.com.au/phantomfury

DC suing Captain Marvel out of existence was PRETTY FUCKING RICH is all I'm saying

If King Features was as litigious as DC would eventually become we literally wouldn't have superhero comics

Maybe Bok's biggest psychological hurtle is how he was taught since birth that his life was expendable. He's been getting some real positive affirmation lately, but four decades of programming is a big boat to turn around.

Hoy cierro el día, y la semana, con un cartel con mucha carga cultural valenciana: «Las Arenas Balneario, Piscina Luminosa de Valencia» (1935) realizada por el gran pintor, cartelista, fotomontador, diseñador gráfico, muralista, teórico del arte y militante comunista, Josep Renau (1907-1982).

#art
Un vibrante y elegante cartel de viaje vintage de estilo Art Déco que publicita el Balneario Las Arenas, Piscina Luminosa, en Valencia. La composición dinámica, sobre un fondo azul oscuro estrellado, muestra una gran estructura de trampolín de piscina con escaleras, iluminada con líneas geométricas de neón. En primer plano, una mujer musculosa con gorro de natación y un bañador de una pieza naranja mira de espaldas la escena, mientras que en la parte superior, una pequeña figura se prepara para saltar desde el trampolín superior. El texto, ubicado en la esquina inferior derecha, anuncia "LAS ARENAS BALNEARIO PISCINA LUMINOSA VALENCIA" en letras blancas y negras.

I so wish it was something cute, but it's probably just doing crunches and trying to not to think about what her life has become.

Maybe a little bit of batting cage action.

Ey! Delighted to hear it. Hope it continues to entertain

Correct and correct. Bones is all business, but they've got a lot of affection for team earth. Whether or not that affection would translate into actual loyalty when the chips are down is a question for another day.

Saturday bonus: my initial sketches for Hiza, the jacked-up cave world champion Bok will have to face again come Monday. She ended up a little slimmer in the actual strip because I felt the heavier look was taking away from the sense of height and reach that's so integral to her fighting style.
Sketch for Hiza, a seven and a half foot tall warrior clad head to toe in jagged black armor. Close up on Hiza's face underneath the helmet -- red eyes and yellow teeth set in blue, craggy skin Hiza smashes her mace against a beleaguered Bok's shield in a panel from the 10/3/25 FLASH GORDON strip
