The creative team behind the project seems genuinely excited to introduce this new take on the character to Papercutz readers.
“Flash Gordon: The Girl from Infinity is a colorful, epic space adventure with intriguing worlds and heartfelt characters,” said Johnson. “Flash is a lovable ball of energy and determination and I loved capturing her joie de vivre.”
Editor Stephanie Brooks said, “Flash Gordon: The Girl from Infinity has intelligent twists on the original characters and character designs that make it an accessible book for new and long-time fans of Flash. The heart of the characters remain, but it’s a fresh take with an empowered team of characters.
“Our Flash Gordon is a girl without memories, growing in a complicated space landscape with so much at stake—humanity’s survival, politics and sovereignty, etc. There is so much passion behind this project, and it was developed by a lot of women with stakes in the representation we see here. It’s been a real pleasure to be a part of this book’s development,” Brooks continued.
Mad Cave Director of Marketing, Allison Pond, added that Bennett and Johnson “lead an exceptional team, with a strong creative vision shaped by talented women. Their work brings fresh energy and perspective to this timeless universe, while staying true to the adventurous spirit of Flash Gordon that resonates with fans of all backgrounds.”
