Princess Aura gets the spotlight! One day, the daughter of the tyrant Ming the Merciless will betray her father and join the armies of Mongo in revolt alongside Earth hero Flash Gordon. But before she was a sharpshooting assassin on the side of good, Princess Aura was a rebellious, action-hungry teenager with an uncorrupted heart. 2025 Talent Search winners Molly Jones, Alden Kaye, Victor Medina, and Domo Arce tell the story of Aura's first frontline mission! Then, award-winning Zimbabwean writer & artist Bill Masuku (Forbes Africa Under 30; creator of Captain South Africa and Disney's Runeless) delivers a neon-soaked, Africa-inspired space epic in a "flash fiction" like you've never seen before! And NYT-lauded writer Eliot Rahal teams up with artist Andrea Mutti for a story that gets inside Ming the Merciless's black heart -- literally! The most exciting installation yet of the Flash Gordon Quarterly!
