Though it only aired for one season, the 1979 cartoon series THE NEW ADVENTURES OF FLASH GORDON is fondly remembered for its innovative use of rotoscoping (a form of animation that involves tracing over live-action footage for a remarkably kinetic effect). Closely adhering to the style and storyline of Alex Raymond's classic 1930s comic strip, the series followed the intergalactic adventures of Flash Gordon as he, his girlfriend, Dale Arden, and their scientific companion, Dr. Han Zarkov, fought to save the universe from the evil plotting of tyrannical space lord Ming the Merciless. This collection presents the beloved series in its entirety for a total of 24 episodes. [More]
