Where I was at it ran seemingly forever in either the NY daily news or staten island advance. I actually never read it much.
Flash...not sure how I knew about him. Dont remember the filmation cartoon and when I saw the movie on hbo in the mid 80s, I knew it was an adaption. I would only guess that I saw the character mentioned in something Star Wars-related...like a tv program or scholastic book about Star Wars. But yeah, I seemed to be aware of him early on...even knew about the Flesh Gordon parody as a kid lol.
