Flash Gordon

Alex Raymond created the hero of the 25th Century in comic strip form, and his chief claims to film fame are three wild and woolly Saturday morning serials made by Universal:

Flash Gordon (1936)

Flash Gordon’s Trip to Mars (1938)
http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0030138
Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940)
http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0032475

All starring Buster Crabbe with Charles Middleton as the wily Emperor Ming. The cheap sets and special effects have kept them popular through the years.
