On the one hand, I'm disappointed that the accompanying graphic is far cooler than my article, but on the other, it's really mesmerizing. I suddenly feel the urge to go rent Flash Gordon.

    That pic isn't Flash Gordon, it's the hero of Mike Grell's late-1970s/early-1980s comic book The Warlord, about a pilot whose plane crashes into Skartaris, a Pellucidar-like world inside the Earth's core.
