A few years back, when BCI Entertainment first released the complete Filmation Saturday morning animated
Flash Gordon series on DVD, the set came with two collectible "tribute" art cards featuring all-new renditions of the 1979 cartoon version of the characters by "name" comic book artists. The piece above, showcasing Filmation's Flash, Dale and Zarkov, is by
Frank Cho, creator of the comic strip
Liberty Meadows and artist on various Marvel Comics titles like
The Mighty Avengers and
Shanna The She-Devil. His famous talent for the sexy rendering of gorgeous women is well demonstrated by that luscious Dale Arden!

This piece, by artist
Gene Ha, spotlights the lovely Princess Aura, scion of Ming the Merciless, dictator of Mongo, and her huntress pack. Ha has drawn comics for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Malibu and Wildstorm.
These were neat little extras to find in the DVD box; I don't know if subsequent repackagings and reissues of the
Flash Gordon cartoon series on disc have included these cards, but as a huge fan of the 1979 cartoon
Flash, I love seeing these guys' interpretations of the Filmation designs. Beautiful.
