About this Collection

This 2007 DC collection brings together a selection of key stories from the Flash's long history, spanning the Golden Age to the modern era. It features tales starring both Jay Garrick and Barry Allen, highlighting the character's legacy across decades of comics. The volume includes work from iconic creators such as Carmine Infantino, John Broome, and Mark Waid, offering a sampler of the Scarlet Speedster's greatest adventures.

"Stone Age Menace" brings together two Flashes in a thrilling crossover that bridges eras, as Barry Allen finds himself mysteriously whisked from Central City to Keystone City—the historic home of the original Flash. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated with dynamic precision by Carmine Infantino, with inks by Joe Giella and lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this 2007 tale captures the classic spirit of the Flash mythos. The cover, a striking portrait by Alex Ross, perfectly frames the collision of past and present.
