Flash

In 1948, Superior Publishers gave readers a brief glimpse of a new kind of speedster with this two-issue series, anchored by the consistent, energetic art of Paul Gattuso. While the Flash would later become a DC Comics icon, this short-lived, independent run stands as a curious, early take on the super-speed concept from the Golden Age. It's a fascinating footnote for collectors of obscure, pre-code superheroes.
