  • "Colección Héroes Modernos Presenta: Flash Gordon y El Hombre Enmascarado" and
  • "Colección Héroes Modernos Presenta: El Hombre Enmascarado y Flash Gordon.

On the back cover of "Flash Gordon" #30 "Editiorial Dolar" begins to advertise for other figures coming soon: "Tarzan"[footnotes 1]., "Merlín (Mandrake)", "Rip Kirby" and "Jorge y Fernando (Tim Tylers Luck)"; a few issues later also including "Ben Bolt" and "Julieta and Eva Jones".

After publishing 60 issues of both the "Flash Gordon" and "El Hombre Enmascarado" series "Editorial Dolar" had published most of the strips from the 50s and 40s. They started two new series with the same titles, but added a "0" in the numbering (eg. 01, 02 and on). The new series printed older material, from the 30s and on. The new series run for 40 issues for "El Hombre Enmascarado", and 30 for the "Flash Gordon". The regular "Flash Gordon" series had 10 more numbers[footnotes 2].

Note

  1. Although Tarzan is mentioned on each and every back cover no one has ever seen a "Colección Héroes Modernos Presenta: Tarzan" issue !
  2. The ads on the back covers from #64 and on are unique to these issues. For example, we see "Superman" at #64, which indicates that # 61-70 is among the last ones of the "Colección Héroes Modernos" series.
