October fifth and October twelfth, nineteen thirty five, here is
the Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, Chapter twenty three and
Chapter twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Presenting the amazing interplanetary adventures of Flash Gordon. Last week
Flash Gordon defended the witch Queen Asuri from the attack
of the Death Dwarf. Paul, having proclaimed himself King of
Blue Magic Land, offered John the Hawkman the command of
the army if you would swear allegiance to him. I'm refused.
(01:56):
Unable to find the heel with the iron doors, which
Flash and Azuri have disappeared, Zakhov returned to Dale. She
suggested that they free Khan and let him direct them
to the hill. When Dale and Zakov reached the iron
door in the hill and opened it, they found the
Azure in Flash Gordon's arms. Zakhov hurried them out of
the tunnel, killed the dwarfs, then he took a Zura prisoner.
(02:17):
These thrilling adventures come to you as they are pictured
each Sunday in The Big Comic Weekly, the world's greatest
pictorial supplement of humor and adventure. The Comic Weekly, each
page printed in full colors, is distributed everywhere as an
integral part of your hearst Sunday newspapers. Now we continue
(02:49):
the story. When Zakhov opened the iron door, Dale Arden
saw Queen Azuri in Flash Gordon's arms, and he was
kissing her Dale's love was turned to jealousy. Ignoring Azora,
Flash tries to explain the situation for Dale. You don't understand, Dale.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I understand perfect this. Actions speak louder than words, and
your actions fairly showed it.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It was Azora's last wish.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I wish it had been how like a coward that
explanation of yours is throwing a blame on the woman
hiding behind her skirts.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I'ming her Crow, I'm not hiding behind anything. I'm telling
you the truth. My spear had just broken. We thought
we were about to die.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Don't touch me, and that's the way you wanted to die,
kissing the Queen of Witches.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Please listen to me, Dale. I told Azora that I
loved you and you only did.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
You expect that to make any difference to her?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Dale, Darling, you know I love you.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It looked like it when Zaka opened the door.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I've always loved you, Dale, and I always will love you.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Don't know what love means, Lash Gordon, it's a Zora
you love. No.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
No, listen to me, Dale, I hate you. Let me go, never,
not until I make you realize. I'm telling you the truth. Dale.
I fell in love with you. When I first glanced
at you over the top of my newspaper in that
trans continental plane just before we bailed out. I knew
from that moment that you were the one girl the
world for me. In the world but not Mongo, Yes,
in Mongo or any other world we may come across.
It was for you. I returned to Azora's palace and
(04:07):
kidnapped her. What so that by holding her a hostage?
I could subdue her kingdom for you?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
For me?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes, I intended to turn it over to you to rule.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Hah nice. And what did you intend to do with
a Zora? Keep her as a souvenir for yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Don't be like that, Dale, don't be like that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Why not? All the time you were missing, I was
so worried. I couldn't sleep, wondering where you were. What
had happened to you? Zark Off and I searched for you.
Li st Our lives for you. And what were you
doing making love to that witch?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, you're Wrongdale, I tell you I didn't make love
to Azora.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You were giving an excellent imitation of it. If you
weren't making love to her, what do you call holding
her in your arms? And kissing her.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The only reason I kissed her was because she asked
me to.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, indeed, I suppose the only reason you've never kissed
me is because I've never.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Asked you to. But a Zora and I thought we
were going to die chivalry til You've got to believe me. Why?
Because I love you, you love me. We mustn't let
a little thing like this come between us.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Zura, isn't so little? And what's the use of thinking
about it?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Evidently there is any use of my thinking about it,
So we'll get Azora to prove it. Yes, life, Styll
won't believe my explanation of what she saw. Tell her
the fruit.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Oh, don't be a stubborn fool as girl.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
You know the Flash Garden has fascinated me for the
first time I laid eyes on him.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I've tried every way to make him fall in love
with me and forget you. Yes, I know that.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
The only time I had any success was when I
kept him drugged with lethium. Back there in the tunnel,
as he fought with the death Dwarf, Flash declared his
love for you.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
He said he.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Loved you only and he always would. He said that, yes,
and when his fear broken, it looked as though we
were doomed. I asked him to kiss me goodbye.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
At that moment you opened the iron door.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, Dale, do you believe me now?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I've believed you all the time, plus what, certainly? But
I couldn't let you know too soon, could I?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of course, she couldn't, at his right deal keep him guessing, And.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I thought, well, what does it matter what I thought?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I was wrong?
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Now that we have that little matter taken care of,
we must take care of our beautiful and valuable prisoner.
We shall hide her away until we have tal and
his army willing to listen to terms.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Meanwhile, Paul inspects the fortifications of his newly acquired plus Rah.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Let down a drawbridge. Hm a, it worked very smoothly.
See that it is kept in the same good condition.
Come raw, we will have a look at the centry gate.
Yes you, the mouth looks dry. See that more water
is let in. Keep the level up to that iron hope. Yes,
your majesty, what is that raw?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Take all for the changing of the guard.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Your magis say, oh good, Let us wait and see
how well they do it. Al post God, what are
(07:17):
the orders for this post.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And God constantly has the distance between the arts of
the gate, pivoting, always with the face turned looking outward.
At any unusual sight notified by bugle, the coming down
to the God challenge all who draw near. If challenge
is unheeded, start firing.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Very good, relieve God, fall in forward march.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yes, that's very satisfactory. Very comra. We'll go back and
see that the guns are in order. Yes, your majesty.
With my coronation ceremony at hand, I must see that
nothing interferes with it. While I do not expect any
place three from within, I must take every precaution for
my own safety.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
There's your majesty.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
You may pull up the drawbridge.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Raw, Yes, your majesty.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
God, fire that ray cannon. Now the other one at once. Yes, good,
that was well done God, and quickly. That is the
way I like to see my men work. What is
that the alarm from the centregation magistry. Lets down that drawbridge. Hurry,
I'll see what has happened century. What is the trouble?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Here is a man running this way from the hills.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Your magistry give me the cyphostope. Yes, I see him.
I got Khan Cohn how did he escape her?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Do not know? Your majesty?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
No matter, I'll capture him again myself. Surrender. I'll touch
you in pieces with my sword.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I've got the drop on you.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Tall, Put up your hands or ray pissed off? Where
did you get that con?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
You'd like to know, wouldn't you? Well, I've got it,
and that's the important thing. Get down off that horse.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
As you said to me? Once? Tall? You will see?
You'll soon find out.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I warn you. It's useless for you to think you
can escape. My men all know you. They'll find you
wherever you may.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Go, will they?
Speaker 7 (09:31):
I'm not so sure about that, Paul. I've been waiting
for this moment for a long time. You're so brave
and mighty, with a squad of guards that you're back.
How does it feel to be alone with a man
who is more than a match for you?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I haven't met such a man yet.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Brave words, Tall, But it's an idle gesture out here.
I can kill you before your soldiers can arrive.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That would do you no good. They will kill you
on tight you think, So are you willing to risk it?
You heard my gods acknowledge me to be that king.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
I heard your guards acknowledge you as King Tall the first,
not their king. A soldier obeys the superior no matter.
If a superior is wrong.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I'll show you who's wrong. Put down that ray pistol.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Not until I'm ready, Toll, I have something to say
to you first.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I can't say it quickly. Then my soldiers will be
out here any moment, and you'll be a dead man.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Paul, Well, I let you put me in that cell.
I thought there was nothing left to fight for. Well
now I find there is.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
What do you mean?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Can I mean Princess Dale. He's still alive, and I'm
going to take over the Blue Magic.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Land for her.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
You won't live long enough. We'll see about that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You and I we will.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Yes, you were willing to make me commander of your
army if I would swear allegiance to you.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I see you'll do that. If i'll make the Earth
Girl queen.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
No, i'll do it. If you beat me in fair fight,
you will, yes. But if I win, Princess Dale will
rule Blue Magic Land.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And if I refuse to agree, Key at.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Ten, I'll kill you where you stand.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
I agree, then break your sword in half, and I'll
empty this ray pistol that tck.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
No, we'll fight with bare hands.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Break that sword very well, good, Here goes a ray pistol. Now,
tal what up your fists to defend yourself. This is
a fight to the Fennish.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
In another part of the hills has the three fugitives
zakof Flash and they all trudge along with their beautiful
captive Azora, looking for a suitable shelter and hide away.
They all draws Flash.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
To one side, Flash, Yes, there are you happy?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yes? Why do you ask theale? I'm not why not?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, in between
worrying about you. In fact, it was the worrying about
you that.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Got me to thinking, what have you been thinking about.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
About the Earth? We've been up here in Mango for
I really don't know how long. Isn't the time we
were going home?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Just when we've got a Zura captured and can take
over the kingdom of the Cave world?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yes, right now, let's give up this conquest business and
try to find our way back to the Earth. I'm
tired of risking our lives at every turn we raid.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, we have had some thrills out Middale. But that's
all part of the game.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Game.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't care anything about Flash. I'm sick of being
taken prisoner and treated like a slave. I'm sick of
going around in odd looking clothes. I want to go
back to the Earth. Take me back.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I can't take you back, Dale, I have no idea
where the Earth is, and even if I could, it's
asking a lot to give up conquering this kingdom. I've
got a winning streak on I can't break my luck.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
If you keep on, you'll break your necks. Oh, Flash, darling,
can't you see this isn't going to get either of
us anywhere? Really, you and I are Earth people, flesh.
We belong on the Earth.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You're tired, Dale. We ought to find shelter soon and
then you can rest. Why after you've had some food
and sleep, you'll laugh at such talk. Think of it,
you'll be a queen.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'd rather be a citizen back on the Earth than
queen of all this funny universe lush sale.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
What is a zaga? A scout patrol? We have been sighted.
They are coming down that trail ahead and will cut
us off.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
What did I tell you Flesh, this is the end
of it.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Dale, have had some other band of men, Yes, Flash,
are those men part of your army?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, they are my chief scouts.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Your friend Zaga just noticed them, but I've been watching
them for some time.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
They have dismounted. They are advancing on foot with level
of flame guns.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Oh, we're doomed to a fire.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Idea, be brave, Dale, but die together.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The girl White for your niece, your queen, captains. Yes,
man has saved my life.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Is henceward your king in fact, as well as the
name life Gordon and his Frienda to be escorted to
my palace in honor and safety.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What do you hear, Flesh, you are king of the
cave world? Now do you really mean it?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yes? Flash, Oh, now we'll never get.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Back to the earth, My queen. It is my duty
to warn you, warn me of what the army it
remains loyal to you. But in your absence, Tao has
seized the throne.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Oh, Talla seizes the throne? Has he in grade? I'll
have his life for this.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I'll settle once and for all with that fellow. It
will take some planning, lads. Remember he has control of
the palace and the fortification.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yes, Flash, we're on the outside looking in. It must
be somewhere of overthrowing his treacherous despot.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What's the matter with charging suddenly at night with the
forces I have at my command? Here? It might work,
my King, If I may be so bold, my patrol
will be as nothing against the guns of the entrance gate.
I suppose you're right. Of course, the Captain is right, Flash,
we must do it some other. Wait, wait, captain, my queen,
way does Tall think I am? He thinks you are dead,
your majesty. He is certain that you and King Flash
(14:43):
died in the tunnel of the death.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
So that is where he sees the throne.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well, all is not lost, then, what do you mean
Tall only sees the throne because he thought me dead?
He was quite right in doing so, for if he
hadn't acted immediately, as if a wall might have broken out. Well,
don't you see, as soon as he learns that I
am not dead, he will then quish the throne.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well, then forward to a Zorda's palace. Meanwhile, back on
the plains before the palace walls, Tall and can fight
(15:22):
hand to hand for supremacy. Not a word do they
speak if they exchange blows, only their labored breathing, and
a grunt from one or the other is heard as
a punch finds its way to a vital spot. Suddenly
Tall breaks through the tiring CON's guard. Con falls backwards.
Tall straightens up, wiping the sweat and blood from his brow.
As a squad of soldiers.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Right up at last, I put you after the way.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Zero, Your majesty, are you all right?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yes, this fellow in class garden not dead. We can't
have any worries from them.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yes, let's write, your majency, how.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Did this con get the pistols which he held me up?
Speaker 8 (16:02):
One of the centers on the top tower said he
saw another figure with the ex prisoner going towards the
hills a while ago.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Your magicin and that explains it. Con was rescued by
his friend, that earth wizard Zarkaugh.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But we haven't seen the sign of Zarko if your
magicine or.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
He must have gotten by you somehow full.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
But he couldn't have your medicine.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
And we'll see about that. Come back to the palace.
Squad forward galloped still Glass found the signal for the
letting down of the drawbridge. Squad. But for all this gateway,
(16:50):
I shall go in the palace, and remember this time
I'm to have a signal no matter who comes within
range of your vision. Now, well, God, what happened to you.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Your majesty? It wasn't my fault. Why didn't drop off
the girl? Girl rode up to the gate and asked
to be taken to Flash.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Gordon.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
I started to lead her to the captain of the
guards answered, when my rifle was was stecked from my
hand and I was attacked the girl.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
So that's how con got free age.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
No, your majesty, Now I heard that Earth signed his voice,
although I couldn't see.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Him, that Earth withered some more of his magic. He
was invisible like twice Gordon. Yes, yes, your majesty.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Well I came to I was stuffed into a into
a closet and all bounding and gagged, and my comrades
just found me.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Man good, I'm glad you were saved in time.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Thank you, thank you, You're magic.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Zak Off and day Laden are still alive, eh men,
scard a lane for them. Ring in their heads.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
There's your palaces order, what are the soldiers we're rolling
in front of it? For I don't know that's us.
It must be some of Towele's orders.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Oh plush, we're going to be taken Principal again.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Don't worry, Dale, We're in no danger anymore.
Speaker 5 (18:37):

to be better stuff and find out what's happened.

Captain said, the army was loyal to me. We shall see,
do you doll him a zora?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
That might well have been through when he lets the palace.
The things that have happened so suddenly lately, the loyalty
of the soldiers may have swung to General tal.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
The Major has met the rider. They are motioning torch
us and pointing back to the palace.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
What can he be saying?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
The Major's coming back. We'll know in a minute if
the army has deserted me.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I don't know what will happen where the soldiers might
turn on us and kill us right here.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Please don't worry. The Darkhoff and I will stand them
off if we have, you bet we will lads, come, Zakhoff,
let's go and meet that rider and get the news.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
A very good idea. If it is bad news, we
can't see that it does not get out.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Well, Major, what's the news? The ex prisoner Khan has
been killed, Your majesty, or can that's terrible. He was
a brave and loyal soldier, and Tala's issued orders that
his men are to scar the country for doctor Arkoff

Speaker 5 (21:42):
And now, soldiers salute your king, Flash Gordon.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
It is my wish, my commands.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Thank you man, this, miss Azora. I have great plans
for your kingdom.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm sure you have.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Flash. The very first thing we must do is construct
a spaceship of some kind and take a good look
at the kingdom as a whole. Would take much too
long by horseback a splendid idea Flash, but.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
There's no one in my kingdom who knows anything about
ships of.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
The air, never mind Osora zark up here knows everything
about everything, well not everything. So tomorrow we'll start building
the spaceship.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
And in the meantime, Dale, Yes, Flash, you and I
are going to take a walk.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Come along, Flash, Yes, Dale.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Tell me something. Did you like that kiss as.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Vera gave you?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yes, Dale, I did. I liked it because it meant
her friendship. It meant that this bloody business was at
an end, that I had won my kingdom and the
right to marry you.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I love you, Dale, and I love you flesh more
than life itself.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Dale, Darling, come here, ah, and before you ask, let
me tell you that I like that GISs better than Zora,
and I don't think you need to ask why.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
After a time, Doctor Zarkhoff completes the building of the
spaceship with the entire army drawn up, and queeners are
a present to see them off. Dark Off, Dale and
Flash climb aboard everything is ready. Flash. Good. I'm sure
you won't come with us.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I said, stay on the ground, Flash, but I hope
you have a night trip and get a good surday
of our kingdom.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I'll do my best. Well, goodbye for a while, or
order goodbye? Come down, stand back, everyone, here we go?
Why goodbye? It feels good to be in the air again.
You don't you think, sodell?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yes, Slash, So where are we heading?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Doctor?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
I am going to test the ship for altitude. Then
we will just cruise alway the kingdom and not before Azuda.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Goodness, so couldy the palace disappeared?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yes, this is a much faster machine than the rocket ship,
isn't it? Taka? Much faster? Lads?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
It was a good thing we managed to salvage the
instruments from the old rate of ning spaceship. We can
calculate our position by them in my new director graph.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
This ship is certainly well equipped. While we can do
all the mapping and surveying on this one fly. Yes, lads,
it will certainly save time and energy. What is the
reading and that dial five hundred? What does that mean? Flesh?
We are going five hundred miles per hour? No, no
one has ever attained that speed in the air before.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Why it doesn't seem as though were movie at all.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well, that's because we haven't any stationary objects to indicate
our Speeddale. Watching freeze and poles fly past will make
you more conscious of the rate with travelers less but
the best.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
We seem to be booling.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
So we are taker do somewhere? Ye wait, the controls
refused to work, and look at the die else this
speak is increasing six hundred and fifty seven hundred, seven
hundred and fifty nine hundred one thousands.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
We're falling it a thousand miles long.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Oh, lesh, don't be fighting, Dale, Darling, I'm with you,
but we'll be killed. Let's hope not Dale, can't you
do something dark? I'm time, I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Let me look at the director black.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh never mind, you never mind? Be raised? Well hawk,
where will we land in just a minute?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I want to be sure sure what tac off we have?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Flash tales? We have left the gravitational influence of the
planet mango.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Oh what will become of it?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Where are we heading? We are now being drawn towards
the Earth see Earth, yes, but whereabout on the earth?
Tak of hey?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
The spaceship is hurdling for the Earth, completely out of control.
Where will Flash Gordon and Dale argument doctors dark out
land and what will happen to them? These amazing adventures
which you have just heard dramatized, are only one of

When we will be back with another.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Chapter in the Amazing Adventures of Flash and Jungle Jym
(27:27):
welcome back.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
A bit of an anti climactica into the whole Kingdom
of the Blue Magic Men. Art Con is killed off
stage and by General Tonoless. I guess it does serve
him right when he could have just captured or killed Tall,
but instead decided on this elaborate duel to prove something
(27:49):
that wouldn't have been so bad if it had been
like Okay, so Tall kills Khan to set up this
big fight with Flash Gordon, but instead targets off by
some random Berson the moment he mentions wanting to kill Azora.
I still think this has been a fun series, but
the ending is a bit of a letdown in terms
(28:11):
of this particular part of the series. I will also
say that even the best of us have our week points,
and we were reminded that.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
For doctor Zarkoff, one of.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Those week points is building rockets that are controllable and
not prone to crash. All right, Well, now it's time

(01:11):
October fifth and October twelfth, nineteen thirty five, here is
the Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, Chapter twenty three and
Chapter twenty four.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Presenting the amazing interplanetary adventures of Flash Gordon. Last week
Flash Gordon defended the witch Queen Asuri from the attack
of the Death Dwarf. Paul, having proclaimed himself King of
Blue Magic Land, offered John the Hawkman the command of
the army if you would swear allegiance to him. I'm refused.
(01:56):
Unable to find the heel with the iron doors, which
Flash and Azuri have disappeared, Zakhov returned to Dale. She
suggested that they free Khan and let him direct them
to the hill. When Dale and Zakov reached the iron
door in the hill and opened it, they found the
Azure in Flash Gordon's arms. Zakhov hurried them out of
the tunnel, killed the dwarfs, then he took a Zura prisoner.
(02:17):
These thrilling adventures come to you as they are pictured
each Sunday in The Big Comic Weekly, the world's greatest
pictorial supplement of humor and adventure. The Comic Weekly, each
page printed in full colors, is distributed everywhere as an
integral part of your hearst Sunday newspapers. Now we continue
(02:49):
the story. When Zakhov opened the iron door, Dale Arden
saw Queen Azuri in Flash Gordon's arms, and he was
kissing her Dale's love was turned to jealousy. Ignoring Azora,
Flash tries to explain the situation for Dale. You don't understand, Dale.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I understand perfect this. Actions speak louder than words, and
your actions fairly showed it.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It was Azora's last wish.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I wish it had been how like a coward that
explanation of yours is throwing a blame on the woman
hiding behind her skirts.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I'ming her Crow, I'm not hiding behind anything. I'm telling
you the truth. My spear had just broken. We thought
we were about to die.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Don't touch me, and that's the way you wanted to die,
kissing the Queen of Witches.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Please listen to me, Dale. I told Azora that I
loved you and you only did.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
You expect that to make any difference to her?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Dale, Darling, you know I love you.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It looked like it when Zaka opened the door.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I've always loved you, Dale, and I always will love you.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Don't know what love means, Lash Gordon, it's a Zora
you love. No.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
No, listen to me, Dale, I hate you. Let me go, never,
not until I make you realize. I'm telling you the truth. Dale.
I fell in love with you. When I first glanced
at you over the top of my newspaper in that
trans continental plane just before we bailed out. I knew
from that moment that you were the one girl the
world for me. In the world but not Mongo, Yes,
in Mongo or any other world we may come across.
It was for you. I returned to Azora's palace and
(04:07):
kidnapped her. What so that by holding her a hostage?
I could subdue her kingdom for you?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
For me?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes, I intended to turn it over to you to rule.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Hah nice. And what did you intend to do with
a Zora? Keep her as a souvenir for yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Don't be like that, Dale, don't be like that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Why not? All the time you were missing, I was
so worried. I couldn't sleep, wondering where you were. What
had happened to you? Zark Off and I searched for you.
Li st Our lives for you. And what were you
doing making love to that witch?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, you're Wrongdale, I tell you I didn't make love
to Azora.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You were giving an excellent imitation of it. If you
weren't making love to her, what do you call holding
her in your arms? And kissing her.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The only reason I kissed her was because she asked
me to.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, indeed, I suppose the only reason you've never kissed
me is because I've never.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Asked you to. But a Zora and I thought we
were going to die chivalry til You've got to believe me. Why?
Because I love you, you love me. We mustn't let
a little thing like this come between us.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Zura, isn't so little? And what's the use of thinking
about it?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Evidently there is any use of my thinking about it,
So we'll get Azora to prove it. Yes, life, Styll
won't believe my explanation of what she saw. Tell her
the fruit.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Oh, don't be a stubborn fool as girl.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
You know the Flash Garden has fascinated me for the
first time I laid eyes on him.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I've tried every way to make him fall in love
with me and forget you. Yes, I know that.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
The only time I had any success was when I
kept him drugged with lethium. Back there in the tunnel,
as he fought with the death Dwarf, Flash declared his
love for you.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
He said he.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Loved you only and he always would. He said that, yes,
and when his fear broken, it looked as though we
were doomed. I asked him to kiss me goodbye.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
At that moment you opened the iron door.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, Dale, do you believe me now?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I've believed you all the time, plus what, certainly? But
I couldn't let you know too soon, could I?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of course, she couldn't, at his right deal keep him guessing, And.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I thought, well, what does it matter what I thought?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I was wrong?
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Now that we have that little matter taken care of,
we must take care of our beautiful and valuable prisoner.
We shall hide her away until we have tal and
his army willing to listen to terms.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Meanwhile, Paul inspects the fortifications of his newly acquired plus Rah.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Let down a drawbridge. Hm a, it worked very smoothly.
See that it is kept in the same good condition.
Come raw, we will have a look at the centry gate.
Yes you, the mouth looks dry. See that more water
is let in. Keep the level up to that iron hope. Yes,
your majesty, what is that raw?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Take all for the changing of the guard.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Your magis say, oh good, Let us wait and see
how well they do it. Al post God, what are
(07:17):
the orders for this post.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And God constantly has the distance between the arts of
the gate, pivoting, always with the face turned looking outward.
At any unusual sight notified by bugle, the coming down
to the God challenge all who draw near. If challenge
is unheeded, start firing.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Very good, relieve God, fall in forward march.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yes, that's very satisfactory. Very comra. We'll go back and
see that the guns are in order. Yes, your majesty.
With my coronation ceremony at hand, I must see that
nothing interferes with it. While I do not expect any
place three from within, I must take every precaution for
my own safety.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
There's your majesty.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
You may pull up the drawbridge.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Raw, Yes, your majesty.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
God, fire that ray cannon. Now the other one at once. Yes, good,
that was well done God, and quickly. That is the
way I like to see my men work. What is
that the alarm from the centregation magistry. Lets down that drawbridge. Hurry,
I'll see what has happened century. What is the trouble?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Here is a man running this way from the hills.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Your magistry give me the cyphostope. Yes, I see him.
I got Khan Cohn how did he escape her?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Do not know? Your majesty?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
No matter, I'll capture him again myself. Surrender. I'll touch
you in pieces with my sword.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I've got the drop on you.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Tall, Put up your hands or ray pissed off? Where
did you get that con?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
You'd like to know, wouldn't you? Well, I've got it,
and that's the important thing. Get down off that horse.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
As you said to me? Once? Tall? You will see?
You'll soon find out.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I warn you. It's useless for you to think you
can escape. My men all know you. They'll find you
wherever you may.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Go, will they?
Speaker 7 (09:31):
I'm not so sure about that, Paul. I've been waiting
for this moment for a long time. You're so brave
and mighty, with a squad of guards that you're back.
How does it feel to be alone with a man
who is more than a match for you?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I haven't met such a man yet.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Brave words, Tall, But it's an idle gesture out here.
I can kill you before your soldiers can arrive.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
That would do you no good. They will kill you
on tight you think, So are you willing to risk it?
You heard my gods acknowledge me to be that king.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
I heard your guards acknowledge you as King Tall the first,
not their king. A soldier obeys the superior no matter.
If a superior is wrong.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I'll show you who's wrong. Put down that ray pistol.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Not until I'm ready, Toll, I have something to say
to you first.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I can't say it quickly. Then my soldiers will be
out here any moment, and you'll be a dead man.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Paul, Well, I let you put me in that cell.
I thought there was nothing left to fight for. Well
now I find there is.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
What do you mean?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Can I mean Princess Dale. He's still alive, and I'm
going to take over the Blue Magic.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Land for her.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
You won't live long enough. We'll see about that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You and I we will.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Yes, you were willing to make me commander of your
army if I would swear allegiance to you.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I see you'll do that. If i'll make the Earth
Girl queen.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
No, i'll do it. If you beat me in fair fight,
you will, yes. But if I win, Princess Dale will
rule Blue Magic Land.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And if I refuse to agree, Key at.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Ten, I'll kill you where you stand.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
I agree, then break your sword in half, and I'll
empty this ray pistol that tck.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
No, we'll fight with bare hands.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Break that sword very well, good, Here goes a ray pistol. Now,
tal what up your fists to defend yourself. This is
a fight to the Fennish.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
In another part of the hills has the three fugitives
zakof Flash and they all trudge along with their beautiful
captive Azora, looking for a suitable shelter and hide away.
They all draws Flash.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
To one side, Flash, Yes, there are you happy?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yes? Why do you ask theale? I'm not why not?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, in between
worrying about you. In fact, it was the worrying about
you that.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Got me to thinking, what have you been thinking about.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
About the Earth? We've been up here in Mango for
I really don't know how long. Isn't the time we
were going home?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Just when we've got a Zura captured and can take
over the kingdom of the Cave world?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yes, right now, let's give up this conquest business and
try to find our way back to the Earth. I'm
tired of risking our lives at every turn we raid.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, we have had some thrills out Middale. But that's
all part of the game.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Game.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't care anything about Flash. I'm sick of being
taken prisoner and treated like a slave. I'm sick of
going around in odd looking clothes. I want to go
back to the Earth. Take me back.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I can't take you back, Dale, I have no idea
where the Earth is, and even if I could, it's
asking a lot to give up conquering this kingdom. I've
got a winning streak on I can't break my luck.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
If you keep on, you'll break your necks. Oh, Flash, darling,
can't you see this isn't going to get either of
us anywhere? Really, you and I are Earth people, flesh.
We belong on the Earth.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You're tired, Dale. We ought to find shelter soon and
then you can rest. Why after you've had some food
and sleep, you'll laugh at such talk. Think of it,
you'll be a queen.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'd rather be a citizen back on the Earth than
queen of all this funny universe lush sale.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
What is a zaga? A scout patrol? We have been sighted.
They are coming down that trail ahead and will cut
us off.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
What did I tell you Flesh, this is the end
of it.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Dale, have had some other band of men, Yes, Flash,
are those men part of your army?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, they are my chief scouts.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Your friend Zaga just noticed them, but I've been watching
them for some time.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
They have dismounted. They are advancing on foot with level
of flame guns.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Oh, we're doomed to a fire.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Idea, be brave, Dale, but die together.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The girl White for your niece, your queen, captains. Yes,
man has saved my life.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Is henceward your king in fact, as well as the
name life Gordon and his Frienda to be escorted to
my palace in honor and safety.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What do you hear, Flesh, you are king of the
cave world? Now do you really mean it?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yes? Flash, Oh, now we'll never get.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Back to the earth, My queen. It is my duty
to warn you, warn me of what the army it
remains loyal to you. But in your absence, Tao has
seized the throne.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Oh, Talla seizes the throne? Has he in grade? I'll
have his life for this.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
I'll settle once and for all with that fellow. It
will take some planning, lads. Remember he has control of
the palace and the fortification.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yes, Flash, we're on the outside looking in. It must
be somewhere of overthrowing his treacherous despot.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What's the matter with charging suddenly at night with the
forces I have at my command? Here? It might work,
my King, If I may be so bold, my patrol
will be as nothing against the guns of the entrance gate.
I suppose you're right. Of course, the Captain is right, Flash,
we must do it some other. Wait, wait, captain, my queen,
way does Tall think I am? He thinks you are dead,
your majesty. He is certain that you and King Flash
(14:43):
died in the tunnel of the death.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
So that is where he sees the throne.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well, all is not lost, then, what do you mean
Tall only sees the throne because he thought me dead?
He was quite right in doing so, for if he
hadn't acted immediately, as if a wall might have broken out. Well,
don't you see, as soon as he learns that I
am not dead, he will then quish the throne.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Well, then forward to a Zorda's palace. Meanwhile, back on
the plains before the palace walls, Tall and can fight
(15:22):
hand to hand for supremacy. Not a word do they
speak if they exchange blows, only their labored breathing, and
a grunt from one or the other is heard as
a punch finds its way to a vital spot. Suddenly
Tall breaks through the tiring CON's guard. Con falls backwards.
Tall straightens up, wiping the sweat and blood from his brow.
As a squad of soldiers.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Right up at last, I put you after the way.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Zero, Your majesty, are you all right?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yes, this fellow in class garden not dead. We can't
have any worries from them.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yes, let's write, your majency, how.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Did this con get the pistols which he held me up?
Speaker 8 (16:02):
One of the centers on the top tower said he
saw another figure with the ex prisoner going towards the
hills a while ago.
Speaker 4 (16:07):

Speaker 2 (18:57):

Speaker 3 (18:58):
That might well have been through when he lets the palace.
The things that have happened so suddenly lately, the loyalty
of the soldiers may have swung to General tal.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
The Major has met the rider. They are motioning torch

You did your duty and you shall be rewarded.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
And now, soldiers salute your king, Flash Gordon.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
It is my wish, my commands.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Thank you man, this, miss Azora. I have great plans
for your kingdom.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I'm sure you have.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Flash. The very first thing we must do is construct
a spaceship of some kind and take a good look
at the kingdom as a whole. Would take much too
long by horseback a splendid idea Flash, but.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
There's no one in my kingdom who knows anything about
ships of.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
The air, never mind Osora zark up here knows everything
about everything, well not everything. So tomorrow we'll start building
the spaceship.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
And in the meantime, Dale, Yes, Flash, you and I
are going to take a walk.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Come along, Flash, Yes, Dale.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Tell me something. Did you like that kiss as.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Vera gave you?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yes, Dale, I did. I liked it because it meant
her friendship. It meant that this bloody business was at
an end, that I had won my kingdom and the
right to marry you.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I love you, Dale, and I love you flesh more
than life itself.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Dale, Darling, come here, ah, and before you ask, let
me tell you that I like that GISs better than Zora,
and I don't think you need to ask why.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
After a time, Doctor Zarkhoff completes the building of the
spaceship with the entire army drawn up, and queeners are
a present to see them off. Dark Off, Dale and
Flash climb aboard everything is ready. Flash. Good. I'm sure
you won't come with us.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I said, stay on the ground, Flash, but I hope
you have a night trip and get a good surday
of our kingdom.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I'll do my best. Well, goodbye for a while, or
order goodbye? Come down, stand back, everyone, here we go?
Why goodbye? It feels good to be in the air again.
You don't you think, sodell?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yes, Slash, So where are we heading?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Doctor?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
I am going to test the ship for altitude. Then
we will just cruise alway the kingdom and not before Azuda.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Goodness, so couldy the palace disappeared?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yes, this is a much faster machine than the rocket ship,
isn't it? Taka? Much faster? Lads?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
It was a good thing we managed to salvage the
instruments from the old rate of ning spaceship. We can
calculate our position by them in my new director graph.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
This ship is certainly well equipped. While we can do
all the mapping and surveying on this one fly. Yes, lads,
it will certainly save time and energy. What is the
reading and that dial five hundred? What does that mean? Flesh?
We are going five hundred miles per hour? No, no
one has ever attained that speed in the air before.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Why it doesn't seem as though were movie at all.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well, that's because we haven't any stationary objects to indicate
our Speeddale. Watching freeze and poles fly past will make
you more conscious of the rate with travelers less but
the best.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
We seem to be booling.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
So we are taker do somewhere? Ye wait, the controls
refused to work, and look at the die else this
speak is increasing six hundred and fifty seven hundred, seven
hundred and fifty nine hundred one thousands.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
We're falling it a thousand miles long.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Oh, lesh, don't be fighting, Dale, Darling, I'm with you,
but we'll be killed. Let's hope not Dale, can't you
do something dark? I'm time, I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Let me look at the director black.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh never mind, you never mind? Be raised? Well hawk,
where will we land in just a minute?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I want to be sure sure what tac off we have?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Flash tales? We have left the gravitational influence of the
planet mango.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Oh what will become of it?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Where are we heading? We are now being drawn towards
the Earth see Earth, yes, but whereabout on the earth?
Tak of hey?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
The spaceship is hurdling for the Earth, completely out of control.
Where will Flash Gordon and Dale argument doctors dark out
land and what will happen to them? These amazing adventures
which you have just heard dramatized, are only one of

Speaker 4 (26:44):
When we will be back with another.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Chapter in the Amazing Adventures of Flash and Jungle Jym
(27:27):
welcome back.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
A bit of an anti climactica into the whole Kingdom
of the Blue Magic Men. Art Con is killed off
stage and by General Tonoless. I guess it does serve
him right when he could have just captured or killed Tall,
but instead decided on this elaborate duel to prove something
(27:49):
that wouldn't have been so bad if it had been
like Okay, so Tall kills Khan to set up this
big fight with Flash Gordon, but instead targets off by
some random Berson the moment he mentions wanting to kill Azora.
I still think this has been a fun series, but
the ending is a bit of a letdown in terms
(28:11):
of this particular part of the series. I will also
say that even the best of us have our week points,
and we were reminded that.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
For doctor Zarkoff, one of.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Those week points is building rockets that are controllable and
not prone to crash. All right, Well, now it's time
