I think we are nearing the end of these novelty stories for a while (although who can forget Flash 177 - I try, I really do). Soon to be Rogues every second month. Loved it. Nice copy how long have you had it.

Thank you so much for sharing!!! What a treat to see inside! You know, I've been thinking over the last few days, for decades I was always the only Flash collector I knew of. Once and a while a comic shop dealer would mention another Flash collector but not often and i'd never met one or been introduced to one before.

I've said it before, you all are the Greatest Flash Fans in the world!

Same here. Met my first SA flash fan through comic Art fans back in early 2016. Bill C (often found on the CGC Art forum) . Really great guy, saved me from getting skinned when I started chasing some art. In Australia in last couple of years I have come across another Flash fan, who cosplays a lot. Has at least 2 different Flash suits, once from the SA comic, one from the 1990s TV show, RF, Godspeed and at least two kid Flash versions.Now that is a Flash FAN. Last year in Sydney we did Captain Cold and Heatwave from the TV show. Passionate Wally West fan. Flash has been going strong as a comic since 1959, only the DC Trinity can boast the same. Fads and characters come and go, (remember when almost every Marvel comic had the Punisher or Ambush Bug or Lobo was everywhere) Flash has outlived a hell of a lot and after the TV show is guaranteed to be around a lot longer. Fingers crossed the movie will do it right.

and I promise I will not post Cosplay again BUT, it was so much fun. Even when his RF killed Batgirl.

I think I've had it for just about 2 years. I do have a few survivors from the 90's collection. My 116 and my 136 come to mind.

Thanks Comicjack! You should join the fun! I'm sure you've got some S.A. Flash laying around the house?

I have been a fan of the Flash a very longtime so i'll post some not in any order.I was lucky to meet Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson who did the inking for Carmine's art work so lets keep the Flash speeding along
