Los Angeles-area "Star Trek" fan and writer Bjo Trimble was a makeup artist on "Flesh Gordon"; she described these experiences in her book "". Other Los Angeles-area science fiction fans worked, at times, in various capacities on the film, including science fiction and fantasy artist George Barr who designed and illustrated the film's one-sheet movie poster, and Cornelius Cole III, who animated the film's opening title credits sequence. Longtime fan and science fiction and fantasy writer Tom Reamy served in the film's art department as the production's property master. He tracked down many of the screen-used props in the film, including authentic, full-sized Ford Trimotor wicker passenger seats (matching the film's Tri-Motor aircraft miniature) used in an early scene in the film.
