 Posted: Fri May 06, 2011 1:56 am Post subject: ALEX RAYMOND'S JUNGLE/FLASH GORDON EDITION |
 |
|
In the new edition of ALEX RAYMOND'S JUNGLE JIM/FLASH GORDON (1934-1936), the pages from February 3, 1935 to July 7, 1935 were offerted by KFS to its client newspapers as two separate pages in a smaller, tabloid format. What is the intention of IDW about these pages? Kitchen Sink Press made the easier election: to use the two-thirds version but with the alteration of the original art. Please, make the best edition ever. 2/3 from January, 1934 to February, 1935; full page tabloid from February, 1935 to July, 1935; 2/3 from July, 1935 to April, 1944.  |

Of course it will be available thru Amazon.
They haven't said when it will be released, hence why it doesn't show up yet.

Dean Mullaney, editor of this Flash Gordon reprint series, has the answers:
"We are using the fulls for all of the run except for February-June 1935 when King Features tried the confusing tab format for all their comics part of 1935. For the tricky 1935, we're working from the Chicago Herald-American, one of the key Hearst papers. I have a complete bound volume of the year.
Here's what we're using for 1935:
January 1935: 2/3 Flash and 1/3 Jim
February 3 - March 17: Flash and Jim each as separate tabs
March 24 and 31: 2/3 Flash and 1/3 Jim
April 7 - June 16: Flash tabs
April 7 - May 12: There are no Jims
May 19 - June 16: Jim tabs
June 23 through end of the year: 2/3 Flash and 1/3 Jim"

If we follow the book of Tom Roberts, "Alex Raymond: His Life and Art" (pages 36, 70 and 71), the distribution of the pages will be:
FLASH GORDON:
-February 3 to March 17: tab
-March 24 and 31: 2/3
-April 7 to May 12: tab
-May 19: 2/3
-May 26 to June 16: tab
-June 23 to July 7: 2/3
TOTAL: 23 = 17 tab + 6 2/3
JUNGLE JIM:
-February 3 to March 17: tab
-March 24 and 31: 1/3
-April 7 to May 12: dropped
-May 19: 1/3
-May 26 to July 7: tab ???
TOTAL: 17 = 14 tab ??? + 3 1/3 ???
(In JJ there's no precision about the number of the pages of each kind)
