History
In 2024, Louis Southard joined the Mad Cave Studios' relaunch of the Flash Gordon universe. Appearing in Flash Gordon Quarterly #1, Louis and artist Nuno Plati created the very first Flash Gordon alternate universe with their short story The Battle of Little Mingo. Set in a sci-fi / western version of the iconic original mythos, we follow the adventures of Sheriff Gordon, Deputy Arden, and the nefarious Governor Ming T. Marcellus.
​
Louis' inclusion also made history with him being the first Gen Z person to ever write a Flash Gordon story. Also, writing the story when he was 24, he is now currently the youngest person to write a Flash Gordon comics story in its over 90 year history.
​
The story is now available worldwide in Flash Gordon Quarterly Volume One.
