About this Collection

This volume collects the earliest Silver Age adventures of the Flash, reprinting stories from The Flash #128-140 and Showcase #8 in the order they were originally published. It continues the chronological presentation of Barry Allen's debut era, featuring his battles with classic Rogues like Captain Cold, Mirror Master, and the Trickster. A must for fans of Silver Age DC lore and completists seeking the definitive reading sequence.

In "The Mirror-Master's Magic Bullet!", Barry Allen steps into a mystery when a magic trick at a Central City community center sends him hurtling to Keystone City—home of the original Flash, Jay Garrick. Drawn together by a shared legacy and a sudden surge of crime, the two Flashes confront a threat that blurs the line between worlds, all while uncovering echoes of a past that shaped their very origins. Written by Gardner Fox, with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Joe Giella, this issue brings a classic Flash dynamic to life with a timeless cover by Infantino and Giella.
