"Welcome to Mongo, the weird fantastic world ruled by the despot Ming the Merciless. Welcome to a world of strange beasts and stranger people, where Monkey Men and Panther Men engage in the Dance of the Poisoned Daggers. Where Witch Queens use electric whips as gentle persuaders and Hawkmen ride the air currents around their City in the Sky. Welcome to the world of Alex Raymond and Flash Gordon! ... you will see why Alex Raymond is the acknowledged master of fantastic artistry and why Flash Gordon became one of the greatest successes ever in newspaper comics history."--from back cover of volume 1.
