The 1980 Flash Gordon feature film has inspired plenty of amazing posters since its release, from the original posters from artists such as Richard Amsel and Renato Casaro, to more modern takes from artists such as Vice Press’ very own Matt Ferguson.
Now, the highly-regarded company has added renowned artist Paul Mann to that list. Available under licence from King Features and Hearst Holdings, and released in collaboration with Sideshow Art Prints, Paul’s classically styled poster really marries well with the 1980’s theme.
To celebrate the release of the poster, Vice Press are also offering Buy One Get One Free across all of their Pins and Coins, which includes the Flash Gordon range designed by Florey. You can pick those up now right here.
Flash Gordon by Paul Mann will be available in a regular edition and a foil variant from Vice Press and Sideshow on Thursday 8th March 2022 at 6.00pm GMT/ 1.00pm Eastern.
