Abstract

The entertainment industry has promoted the expansion of successful content in transmedia universes as a profitable strategy and attraction of audiences. Although these narratives are experiencing their maximum expression thanks to the convergence of media and formats, the expansion of a story through different platforms and languages is not a new phenomenon. The present work aims to analyze the Flash Gordon universe from the perspective of transmedia archaeology and, more specifically, within character-based franchises.
