origin of the Flash retold; 1st solo Flash title (Summer 1941)
John Wise Collection
The Flash Comics imprint had been developed as an anthology title, just in case the new character crashed and burned. Instead, the Flash raced into the hearts of millions of readers. Having proven his popularity, Jay Garrick, the most famous of Golden Age speedsters, was then granted his own title with All-Flash Quarterly (following the tradition of other DC solo debuts). The few folks unfamiliar with the Crimson Comet were brought up to speed in this first issue with an origin recap, and were entertained by a comic full of solo Flash goodness.
The book would enjoy a healthy run throughout the war period, cementing the Flash's status as one of DC's top draws. Interestingly, the title of the Flash's new solo venture was the result of a readership contest. National Periodicals (later DC Comics) felt they needed to distinguish the new book from the already existing Flash Comics. A canny young reader decided to merge Flash Comics and the title of All Star Comics (also featuring the Flash) to get the winning title of All-Flash Quarterly.
The black background on this cover makes it tough to find good-looking copies, as each scrape, tear, ding, and crease tends to show. We're delighted to offer this very attractive high-grade copy to collectors who demand only the very finest.
Overstreet Guide 2013 VF/NM (9.0) value = $14,875.
