Summary: Pricey, but a must-have!
Comment: After a short introduction, this book launches right into the meat, seventeen Flash comics! Starting with one Jay Garrick story (Flash Comics #104, February 1949), the book then switches to the Barry Allen Flash. Included are stories from Showcase #4 (10/1956), Showcase #8 (6/57), Showcase #13 (4/58), Showcase #14 (6/58), The Flash #105 (2/59), The Flash #106 (5/59), The Flash #107 (7/59), and the Flash #108 (9/59). The conclusion of the book is a one-pager with the biographies of seven Flash staffers.
These comics are beautifully reproduced, in their original sizes, and with better coloring and clarity than I remember from my youth. They are nothing short of works of art! Unlike the other Flash book (The Golden Age Flash), this one includes Flash battling super-villains, such as the Turtle Man (his first villain), Dr. Alchemy, and (most importantly) Grodd. A bit on the pricey side, this book is a wonderful collector's item, a must-have for all good fans of the Flash!

Summary: Great Glimpse of the Silver Age
Comment: The Flash Archive editions are a real treat for any comic reader. Despite the price, these editions are somewhat "priceless" collections of many of the Masters of comic storytelling. With the work of John Broome, Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella, younger comic readers get a glimpse of what made this industry great. Before Stan Lee brought a "soap opera" mentality to comics, these DC editions offer precise, on-the-mark storytelling. Stories have a beginning, a middle and an end! The artwork compliments the story - not distracts from it. These Flash editions, along with the Green Lantern and some to be released Atom Archives are a welcome treat for all ages.

Summary: The Flash Archive - Vol 1
Comment: Ahhh, the Flash. One of my favorite comic book characters as I was growing up. Next to World's Finest and Superboy, I think "The Flash" topped my collection of comics.
This book, volume 1 in what I hope will be an expanding set, takes us from Showcase issues 4, 8, 13 and 14 - where The Flash was reborn into the silver age of comics - and continues with stories from Flash #'s 104 to 108. (Hint: Flash #104 was the last issue of the earlier Golden Age Flash)
I alway did like the Barry Allen Flash better than Jay Garrick (the original Flash - or some of you may know him as the Flash from Earth Two). The book is beautifully done in 224 full-color, hardbound pages and introduces some of the fantastic villians the Flash aways seemed to face. Remember Captain Cold, The Pied Piper and the Mirror Master? And who could forget Grodd, the Super Gorilla? They're all here, plus more. 17 timeless tales in all.
Light, entertaining reading - great for just before bed - I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who liked the silver age Flash.
