Introduced in 1940, The Flash burst onto the comic book scene with
an explosive debut akin to his super-speed powers. He was an
instant smash-hit success, as the lightning bolt insignia upon his
chest became synonymous with the term "superhero." Even as seven
decades have passed, The Flash is still a vibrant part of the DC
Comics lore and an integral part of the genre.
THE FLASH: A CELEBRATION OF 75 YEARS collects a wide range of
stories featuring the Scarlet Speedster, ranging his seven decades
as a mainstay in the DC Comics universe. From the original Flash,
Jay Garrick, to his successors Barry Allen and Wally West, the
mantle of this beloved hero has made him burst beyond the printed
page into a pop culture symbol. This anthology graphic novel
collects stories from the industry's legendary talents, including
Gardner Fox, John Broome and Geoff Johns.
In his 60-year career, Carmine Infantino has practised nearly every
job that there is in the field of comics, for a "Who's Who" list of
publishers. But Infantino will always be remembered as the
personification of DC Comics' Silver Age. Infantino helped to
resurrect the dying comics industry in 1956, as the artist who
launched the Silver Age with his co-creation, the Flash, and
remains the best remembered Flash artist of all-time. Infantino
proved one of the all-time, great sci-fi artists with his elegant,
cityscaped Adam Strange. The only sci-fi comic to rival the sales
of "Adam Strange" was "Star Wars," to which Infantino also
contributed. In 1964, Infantino became indispensable to the Batman
legacy. He, with editor Julius Schwartz, saved the Caped Crusader's
comics from impending cancellation with the "New Look." Infantino
also redesigned the Batmobile and with Schwartz, created Batgirl.
In 1971, Infantino became Publisher and ultimately, President of DC
Comics. Infantino's brave corporate moves include: comic books of
pulp characters; the Shadow and Tarzan; the Adams/O'Neil Green
Lantern-Green Arrow series; Jack Kirby Fourth World saga; the
revival of Captain Marvel; pay raises, royalties, and the return of
originals to artists. This is Infantino's own history of comics,
through his experiences, from the industry's primordial, Golden
Age, through his artistic achievements, corporate years at DC
Comics, and post-corporate years including his animation work,
teaching, return as a top artist to DC, and Batman newspaper strip.
