From his landmark debut in Showcase #4 through the classic early adventures, Barry takes on Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, Mirror Master, the Pied Piper, Weather Wizard, and the rest of his legendary Rogues Gallery. Collects SHOWCASE #4, #8, #13-14, THE FLASH #105-132, and FLASH COMICS #104.

Printing #1$99.99

September 14, 2014

Released Sep 2014

The original 2014 release predated the 'age' branding, where DC would brand their Omnibuses by the Silver, Bronze, etc., age. This first printing was simple known as 'The Flash Omnibus'. It is our understanding that the content is the same, but the slipcover will match the other age versions if you buy a newer printing.
