The King cover (5/40)
Flash Comics was used as a testing ground for DC's new hero ideas, many of which failed to tickle the fancy of readers of the era, but these one-offs and minor players would go on to become objects of interest to collectors who are drawn by the charming conceits of these also-ran heros.
