Hello and welcome back after yet another long summer hiatus (again sorry about that, I’m afraid there’s little I can do about them).
And so we return to a continuation of the last chapter with “Part 2” of this particular story. If you checked out the previous post you’ll now know that this chapter has a new theme, specifically related to a certain space-adventure series that has been around for…well nearly forever.
Many people nowadays know of Flash Gordon thanks to the 1980 movie with the classic Queen soundtrack. However I was introduced to the characters and series in a different way:
There was also an attempt to reimagine this in the 90’s, but as with many 90’s remakes…it didn’t really go far.
However, that 1979 version of Ming the Merciless always stuck out as a really well done villain (if you try to ignore the Second Season….like I try to….Screw you Gremlin! You were worse than Scrappy Doo!). So I’ve always been itching to have a chance to do a “Ming-like” villain.
I hope you enjoy the results 🙂
I have a feeling this is going to be awesome. Now to go double-vote at the freshly reset TWC 🙂
And that seems to have taken this comic from place 328 to place 160 – reset day is fun 🙂
I was introduced to it in a different way yet–as a serial newspaper comic back in the 50’s. ^^
The real trick to a good TWC ranking is to acquire people who will vote every day. 🙂
All I have to say is that I’m glad I don’t have to pay Laura’s heating bill…
@O8h7w: I hope you do enjoy the results, and thank you so much for voting 🙂
@Delta: I’m rather shocked that I actually seem to have people who vote most days, for both Bata Neart & Back Office. I’m not sure how I managed to get such awesome folk supporting the comics, but it certainly motivates me to try my best to make these comics as fun as possible 🙂
@Kessy: Well….the thing about being an evil overlord is that you don’t have to worry too much about utilities bills 🙂
*Although* I do now realise that Laura has made a serious tactical mistake. If an attacker takes out the heating system, her palace guard will freeze! ;D
