The new series will be a spin-off from the '
Kings Watch' crossover mini-series, featuring Mandrake The Magician and The Phantom and will re-introducing Dale Arden, Dr. Hans Zarkov, Ming the Merciless and Flash as he journeys to the planet Mongo.The series will be written by 'Kings Watch' writer Jeff Parker, with art by Evan 'Doc' Shaner and colours from Jordie Bellaire.
