Flash Gordon influence

Recently re-found this image from a Flash Gordon DVD...you can probably see that I drew some influence for Captain Capitalism from it. Captain Capitalism was around for a while before I saw this, but you definately see some influence in the colors, hair-d0, and even in the "poster" images I have done in the past.

Orginally, Captain Capitalism was more of a "space-hero" like Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers. He combatted inter-galactic communism, a threat from outer-space. This still is an element in some of the scripts I have been writing recently, but as you can tell from the cartoons I have done recently...I have moved away from this a bit.
