The Flash Archives #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis hardcover volume kicks off DC's Archive Editions series for the Scarlet Speedster, collecting the earliest adventures of the Golden Age Flash from Flash Comics #1-17 and All-Flash #1. Featuring the original Jay Garrick as the Fastest Man Alive, these stories from 1940-1941 showcase the creative work of writer Gardner Fox and artist Everett E. Hibbard, establishing the mythos of the speedster hero.
In "The Rival Flash!", the Flash squares off against Captain Cold, a villain who uses a cold-gun to freeze objects and craft deceptive mirages. With Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art and John Broome’s sharp scripting, this 1996 Flash Archives issue delivers a classic showdown where speed meets cunning—only the Flash’s keen mind can cut through the frosty illusions. Cover by Carmine Infantino and Joe Kubert captures the tension in bold, timeless style.
