Description

An American football player is whisked off to outer space, where he has to square off against evil emporor Ming the Merciless. Contrary to the front cover's claim, this was not "the only book of the film," there was also a children's storybook and a panel-comic adaptation.

Description

Ming the Merciless! He rules the planet Mongo with cold terror - and if he has his Imperial way, will conquer the entire universe! But first the king of Mongo must destroy Flash Gordon, the fair-haired earthling and Superbowl star, destined to challenge his sinister forces... together with Doctor Zarkov and the beautiful Dale Arden, Flash is sent hurdling through interstellar space to the Towers of Mingo City, the heartless armies of the all-seeing secret police, and the deadly creatures and half-human beings lurking in Ming's lair. There, the space hero has a triple-task: survive Ming's onslaught, free his own friends, and save - billions of light years away - the planet Earth!
