Within the first few strips of the comic you come to understand that the story takes place sometime in earths future, you also quickly find out that earth is at war with a far more advanced enemy called the Skorpi. Working on a sabotaged space station, Flash confronts and captures the Skorpi spy's space ship. With this ship Flash goes out into distance space to find allies to help in earths cause. He flies into a conflict between Skorpi and Dhreen inevitably meeting up with a key figure Ellta. Back on earth, with Ellta's help a Skorpi plan of invasion of earth is found out and an allience between earth and the Dhreen. To set up for the following comic in the story, the Dhreen agree to send reinforcements to earth to fight the Skorpi threat.
Behind this story of a galactic war there is another story. This one involves Flash's personal love life. Upon his return to the earth Flash had planned to get married. Ellta would not allow this as she was in love with Flash. Ellta blackmailed Flash, threatening not to have the Dhreen assist earth if he didn't see things her way.
In "Lost Legion", I did not find out if Earth will be saved or if Flash does get married to his love, Dale. But I did enjoy reading Flash Gordon.
