Millennium Edition: Flash Comics

    (DC, 2000)
™ and ©2000 DC Comics

To celebrate the end of one millennium and the beginning of another, DC Comics published a series of Millennium Editions that reprinted significant comic books from the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Modern Ages of Comics.

Having struck gold with Superman in 1938 and Batman in 1939, DC Comics again caught lightning in a bottle with the first issue of Flash Comics in 1940. This landmark anthology comic introduced archetypal super-speedster the Flash, as well as the high-flying Hawkman, bumbling do-gooder Johnny Thunder (called “Johnny Thunderbolt” in his first outing) and his genie Thunderbolt, rough-and-tumble super-agent Cliff Cornwall, and Latin American adventurer the Whip. Some of these characters have been all but forgotten over the years, but the Flash and Hawkman served proudly with the Justice Society of America in the pages of All Star Comics—with Johnny Thunder providing the comic relief. Moreover, the Fastest Man Alive and the Winged Wonder inspired the Silver and Modern Age versions of themselves, and the Golden Age Flash is still active in the DC Universe today—some sixty years after his debut!
