It's actually from Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, which I brought to their attention. Say what you will about the Times' coverage sorely lacking in the Bush/Cheney rush to war, but this may be the greatest faux pas in the paper's history!

I always thought many of the concert costumes of 70's black bands like Parliament, Earth, Wind And Fire et al., were inspired by old science fiction attire, guess I'm just nerdy. How old is the writer of the NY Times' article, 30?

Balcony Gang, Foist Class Posts: 61 Group: Members Member #313 Joined: December 9, 2007	I've been noticing that the upcoming Comic-Con schedules are being released and apparently set for Friday July 24 is a Buck Rogers panel, celebrating the character's 80th year. The info I stated both Gil Gerard and Erin Gray will be there along with news on the potential movie. Hopefully it'll be that Frank Miller was told not to let the door him slam him on the rear and a new director will be announced. Edited by mcr07376, Jul 10 2009, 06:59 PM.
