Title Lobby Card (11" x 14")
Very Fine-
Universal, 1938

This stunning and action-packed title lobby card was issued by Universal for the feature-length film adaptation of their serial, "Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars," which was released earlier that same year. The card features Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon, Jean Rogers as Dale Arden, and Beatrice Roberts as Queen Azura. This particular example is unrestored and shows only minor imperfections, including pinholes in the borders.

Universal prepared a feature-length film version of their serial, "Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars," which was ready for release by October 1938. When Orson Welles captivated the nation with his Mercury Theatre on the Air radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds," Universal quickly renamed the feature "Mars Attacks the World." Just one week after Welles' broadcast, the film premiered as a major event at a Broadway theater. The feature's original title had been "Rocket Ship," a name later used for re-releases of the feature-length version of the first Flash Gordon serial, initially released under the same title as the serial in 1936 in the UK
