Flash Gordon #1 prelim (1965) by Al Williamson

Very lovely. I can see that you are a fan of Flash Gordon, so it's nice that you have been able to obtain a couple of pieces by Al Williamson. IMHO, he was the definitive Flash Gordon artist after Alex Raymond himself.

Thank you again, Ben, for your kind words. Yes, Al Williamson was, by far, my favorite comic artist from the 1960's through the time of his last works. I was able to acquire a copy of his "Sketchbook" by Vanguard Press about 20 years ago, and I believe this sketch was published in it. If I am mistaken about that, I know the sketch you see in my galleries (marked "some nudity") was definitely in the "Sketchbook". He brought to life for these wonderful characters, and I still treasure all 37 issues of the comic which was first published in 1966 and ended in 1982.
