Roter Blitz

From 1976 to 1983, Egmont Ehapa published Roter Blitz—a 96-issue German comic series that brought together the talents of writers like Cary Bates, Gerry Conway, and Paul Kupperberg with artists such as Carmine Infantino, Irv Novick, and Don Heck. This run offered a curated selection of superhero stories, largely drawn from the US Flash and related DC Comics titles, making the Scarlet Speedster's adventures accessible to a new audience across Europe. Its significance lies in how it introduced and sustained interest in a key DC character abroad during a vibrant era of international licensing.
