Showcase Presents The Flash VOL 02
By Rich
Flash of Two Worlds is as great a comic story as we'll ever see. For sheer inventiveness, nothing beats it. That it managed to wreak havoc throughout comics for 40 years is just a bonus. The Flash was fun -- that was his greatest problem. His shtick was silly and two dimensional. When readers decided that super-heroes had to be real -- something more than the fictitious avatars they were intended to be -- the Flash turned out to be too improbable to survive. What a shame, and what a loss. This book contains so many delightful fantasies that it is worth an afternoon of anyone's time. Make it a sunny afternoon -- he was the last of the sunshine boys, and comics haven't been the same, or nearly as much fun, since he dashed off the stage more than 20 long years ago.
