One of the things I've always wanted to do on the MainPage here of SciFiHistory.Net is to conceive these pull-out features on individual days regarding the movers and shakers within a wider franchise for a bit of additional focus. For example, I've always wanted to pen a daily feature along the lines of 'All Roads Lead To Marvel' wherein I specifically highlighted all of the associated birthdays, movies, TV episodes, etc., relating to the Marvel Universe ... but as anyone can guess it takes more than a bit of time to build up those citations with research. So, in the meantime, I might just start putting together what I can in smaller blog posts like this -- the first one -- for "Savior Of The Universe: On This Day In Flash Gordon History!"
Naturally, I need a bit of additional preparation -- graphics and the like -- to get closer to what I envision, but as I sat here this morning I figured I wasn't getting any younger; and since life was getting only shorter I'd make an honest stab at this.
So without further ado ...
Birthdays
Born on this day in 1924 was illustrator and comics book artist was Frank Bolle, a creative who actually worked on the Gold Key Comics run of the immortal Flash Gordon during the 1970's. Fans interested in seeing the work he created can purchase a copy of a copy of the Flash Gordon Comic Book Archives: Volume 4 (Dark Horse Comics, first edition printed in 2011) as all indications are Bolle's run is included in this collection. Alas, it's definitely priced a bit steep for my liking; hopefully there will eventually be a digital release that's priced more affordable for the masses-at-large.
Flash! He'll save every one of us!
