Space Hero Meets Space Force SMASH GORDON "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Mongo!"

1940s Space Opera Meets 1960s Space Opera...

...and may the better version win in this spoof strip by noted comic artist Frank Brunner!
It's saying something when you're too much of an unrestrained "space cowboy" for even James T Kirk, eh?
Originally-presented in #1A (1972) of a prozine (a magazine featuring work by both rookie and veteran creatives) called Heritage whose two-issue run was dedicated to Flash Gordon.
This strip written and illustrated by Frank Brunner (who was already working for Marvel as an inker and colorist) is an affectionate tribute to both Flash Gordon and Star Trek, as well as indicating Brunner would've done a dynamite job on either series!
As to why it's here, there's nudity (barely) on pages 2, 3 and 4, and Google has been cracking down on it on any pages with nudity and without a warning label.
