Flash Does Tijuana

We've been talking Flash Gordon parodies, so let's look at the Tijuana Bibles, or 8-Pagers as they were sometimes known, though that was sometimes a lie. (And, oddly, the page count didn't include the cover. Printed only on one side and flat stapled, the usual multiply by 4 rule doesn't apply to them.)

There were three of which i'm aware, and one of those was 16 pages in length - an Epic! (Your mileage may vary). In our first, Flash lures Dale into a Moon Voyage...

Obviously, that wasn't enough for I. Wantzum Tuu, and so we got the double length Azura, Queen Of Magic -

Lastly, another standard 8 page tale, Red Hot...

...but this copy later had colour added, so let's use it instead of the original black & white version -

It's a good thing that these were made before Buster Crabbe played the role in the movies, or the puns would have been unending...
