The women's costumes top my list as well, especially the Dale Arden attire in FG '36. Her costume in Trip to Mars was more conservative, due I suppose to the Hays office censorship of the day. Queen Azura of Mars looked fantastic in the second serial (especially in contrast to the clay people, heh).

King Vultan's costume tops my menswear list, it was sci-fi comic strip fantasy vividly brought to life. Ming's robe in FG '36 and Trip to Mars gave him the right mix of authority and menace.

I'll never forget the first time I saw Officer Torch in FG '36, an imposing armored figure who quickly took command of the crew of the just-arrived Rocketship from Earth.

I recently read somewhere that Richard Alexander, Prince Barin from FG '36 and Trip to Mars, designed a number of costumes in the Flash Gordon serials! I don't know if this is an apocryphal story, or is in fact accurate.

Of course the biggest lingering mystery is what would Sergeant Tim have worn if he actually appeared in the serials. Enlisted man chic, I would surmise.


Sergeant Tim
