About the series
A one-shot from 1961, DC Comics’ Secret Origins debuted as a showcase for the revised backstories of two of its Silver Age cornerstones. Written by Dave Wood, Jack Kirby, and Joe Simon, with Kirby handling the art, the issue details the origins of Green Lantern and the Flash. While brief, this anthology-style special was an early example of the publisher formalizing its superhero histories for a new generation of readers.
