Police scientist Barry Allen always enjoyed the exploits of his favorite comic book crime-fighter, the Flash. But before lightning struck his lab and infused his body with the power of super-speed, he never dreamed he would follow in his hero’s footsteps!

 Fortunately for comics fans everywhere, that’s exactly what happened—and when DC’s revitalized Flash burst onto newsstands in 1956, he opened the door to a new age of excitement—a Silver Age of superheroes, spearheaded by DC editor Julius Schwartz and his team of creative collaborators. Now, six decades after his debut, Barry Allen’s Flash continues to blaze trails faster than the eye can see—and here is where it all begins!

 Featuring tales from Silver Age legends John Broome, Gardner Fox, Carmine Infantino and more, The Flash: The Silver Age Volume Three collects the era-defining adventures of the Scarlet Speedster from The Flash #133-147.

About the Author

John Broome scripted the majority of the Silver Age Flash tales, beginning with the second story in SHOWCASE #4 (the issue which launched the character's new incarnation) and continuing on THE FLASH until 1970. Prior to the Flash, Broome had accumulated a lively résumé of comic book credits, including Captain Marvel and the rest of the Marvel Family, the Golden Age Green Lantern, the Justice Society of America, Captain Comet, the Silver Age revival of Green Lantern, the Atomic Knights, Batman, Star Hawkins, Rex the Wonder Dog, Detective Chimp and a variety of science fiction tales. Broome retired from comics in the 1970s and passed away in 1999.

This was for a disabled veteran, you see he had a head injury many years ago and is unable to care for himself and so a local veterans hospital nursing home section is his refuge where they treat him with the dignity and dare he earned when he volunteered to serve his country. He's old now and this collection of Silver Age DC Comics of The Flash bring back memories of his childhood and he smiles. So Seller, thanks for selling this, it was perfect. Clean and brand new, not damaged, and best of all, DC comics , the best of the best .

4.0 out of 5 stars Reverse Flash Gets His Own Colors
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018
The third volume of the Silver Age Flash collects Issues 134-147.

The book has a few highlights. The Kid Flash costume is changed from the "mini-Flash" look to the iconic Kid Flash look. We meet two big new members of Flash's Rogue's gallery, Heatwave and Reverse Flash. Heatwave's introduction is okay, though its marked by one of the dullest and least interesting costumes of the Silver Age.

The Reverse Flash is a really solid challenge for the Flash. He not only appears but comes back a few months later to try and use a reformed criminal to make a come back. Issue #147 has Flash and Reverse Flash raising towards the former criminal in an homage to the Flash #123.

Other than that, the Flash repels several alien invasions. He has another team up with the Earth One Flash as they battle Vandal Savage who has picked off former Justice Society of America members off like flies. The adventures leads to a re-forming of the JSA and sets the stage for 20 years of crossovers between the JLA and JSA. He has a great team up with the Green Lanterns where they fight several versions of the Green Lanterns who exist for scientifically dubious rason.

There were many returning villains, some featuring silly ideas that worked from a story standpoint ( such as a prison newspaper that has a ranking of e effectiveness of Flash villains and Mirror Master escaping to rise in the rankings) to those that don't know (the Prankster story.)

Overall, I don't think this is quite as good or groundbreaking as the previous volumes, but it is still a really fun read, full of imaginative stories, and even a couple changes for our hero.

4.0 out of 5 stars episodi inediti a 5 stelle

Continua dei volumi 1 e 2 dell'epoca silver age, che ha come protagonista BARRY ALLEN. Gli episodi narrati (dal 133 al 147) sono quasi tutti inediti in Italia e, di conseguenza, l'unico modo per leggere queste avventure è leggerle in inglese. 4 stelle sono per incoraggiare alla pubblicazione dei prossimi volumi, ma gli episodi restano da 5 stelle!
