Flash Gordon Memories of Al Williamson

Flash Gordon #1 by Al Williamson.
Flash Gordon #1 by the late, great Al Williamson (1931-2010). Presented by Thom Buchanan.

I used to own a copy of this story as a kid. It may have been a a Filipino re-print edition. Sadly, it was lost, as with all my childhood comic books, probably when my family was moving house. If I recall correctly, the setting of the story moved from Mingo City to the kingdom of Frigia. Flash and Queen (?) don those funky see-through ski suits to go hunting for ice serpents, or something. Cool, but impractical. And as good an excuse as any to showcase Al's artistic talents with the human form.
