Whatever sense you were taste to make of the world , discontinue . Because in a compendium of Flash Gordon comic strips sold overseas in Turkey , the cover features a terrific visage reaching out to our wedge . It ’s one of Flash Gordon ’s lesser - be intimate villain … the malefic variation Apocalypse , as played by Oscar Isaac in the next X - Men film .

Yeah , this is one of those classic narrative of overseas persona appropriation that , thanks to the net , spreads . Look up at the photo from the moving picture and then face back at this book binding . The only difference the Flash Gordon version is mercifully less majestic .

As ComicBook.compoints out , the factual bad guy of Dan Barry ’s 1977 - 78 ravel was a role call Dak - Tula . Did Dak - Tula look anything like Apocalypse ? No , ofcourse not . He wore a outer space helmet with little antenna and red goggles . Other than that , he was a pretty regular looking sheik .

We ’ve yet to verify if 20th Century Fox is go to go after the midget Turkish publisher who remember they could eff up their Flash Gordon get across with a totally different comic book character . Or maybe this ’ll actually exalt a crossover . Who knows ?
