It's a Dynamite series written by Jeff Parker and art by Marc Laming and combines the classic characters of Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician. (Marvel published it as the Defenders of the Earth years ago.) The first five issues of the series have been collected in a trade and it comes out on Wednesday.

Flash Gordon, The Phantom, and Mandrake the Magician are together again… for the first time!

While playboy adventurer Flash Gordon uncovers an alien menace, the ghostly jungle champion known as

The Phantom faces murderous creatures in the African wild. But it's only Mandrake, a stage performer in touch with the mystic realms, who knows how these horrors are related… and how they threaten to shatter Earth. Brought together through the efforts of reporter Dale Arden, the eccentric Professor Zarkov, and man-of-action Lothar, the heroes must overcome the Cult of the Cobra and their otherworldly allies!
