Customer Reviews

Strictly for Flash fans

I realized this collection of Flash stories are the earliest, and which means it was first intended for kids, instead of adults. This is my feeling, since there are some Kid Flash tales who is exactly like Flash except is a kid. And the bad guys always seem to rob banks and jewelry stores. The plots are simple. But being a Flash fan, I wasn't concern of the storytelling as much as seeing how the first issues of Flash is like. So I guess this collection is no different than DC Archives except in black and white. I enjoy the first appearances of some of the Rogue's Gallery. We even get to see origin of Elongated Man who makes appearances.

Classic comic!

Loved the flash as a kid . . . this is great for my kids, even though in black and white.

A must purchase if...

A must purchase for any DC collector...if he does not already own the Flash Archives 1 - 3. If so, this title is redundant. Still for non-Archives owners, we have here a bargain book reprinting from Showcase and Flash 105 - 111. Enjoy. Volume 2 will be a keeper going beyond Archives #4. The Showcase Presents series is well worth looking at!
