Created by Alex Raymond in 1934 in comics, in newspaper strips, the space opera, which narrates the adventures of Flash Gordon, became a reference, influencing other authors in science fiction to this day, and gaining adaptations in TV and cinema. In the story, while threatening the Earth, a planet called Mongo, ruled by a dictator villain named Ming the Merciless, is visited by a rocket created by scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov alongside his friend and ally Flash Gordon, an adventurous young athlete, and Dale Arden, Flash's girlfriend. For years, Flash and his allies live their adventures in Mongo, traveling through the planet's eclectic ecosystem, discovering different kingdoms and cultures, from primitive people to the most advanced, and Flash Gordon uses his intelligence and leadership to unify the inhabitants against the oppressive regime of Ming.

 

Flash Gordon is one of the first classic comic book heroes of the 1930s to get a statue by Iron Studios. On a golden base decorated with a lightning bolt, his symbol, the statue has an extra hand, with the option to let him hold his long sword or not.
