The Reasonably Amazing Adventures of Flash Episode 3
Comedy - In a dramatic display of avian-inspired displeasure, the famously feather-brained Hawkmen of Sky City have clapped Flash Gordon and company into a prison that is, quite literally, floating on a cloud. Naturally, none of our heroes had the forethought to pack parachutes or anti-gravity underpants—though Dr. Zarkov swears he was working on a prototype (if only he could remember where he put it).
Now, trapped high above the swirling mists, Flash, Dale, Aura, and Barin must negotiate their freedom with a race who believe that having wings automatically makes you superior, not to mention just a tad huffy. Will Flash’s charm and a well-timed escape plan be enough to sway their captors, or will our heroes become permanent occupants of the world’s most precariously positioned birdcage? Only time—and a healthy disregard for gravity—will tell.
Flash Gordon was played by Tom Konkle, later famous for nothing in particular. The cast also included Bob Clendenin as Dr. Zarkov and Kurtis Bedford as Ming the Merciless, Jude Gerard Prest as Prince Baron, Tanya Johnson as Dale Arden and Theresa Ireland as Princess Aura . And Zander Schaus as many! The radio series broke with the strip continuity in the last two episodes, when Flash, Dale and Zarkov returned to Earth. The announcer is Tom Konkle. Sound effects by Vince Colavitti. Music by Bryan Arata. #flashgordon #scifi #comedy #melbrooks #woodyallen
The comic strip was adapted into The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, a 26-episode weekly radio serial. The series followed the strip very closely, amounting to a week-by-week adaptation of the Sunday strip for most of its run.
