flash 123

The top selling comic book last month was The Flash 123

Flash 123 just got back into the top-selling list, and collectors can’t stop talking about it. But why now? Why are collectors and those who sell comic books after it?

The Flash Comic Series

The Flash comic series started in 1959, created by Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino. It quickly became one of DC’s biggest titles. It has a bit of everything: heart, science, and fast-paced action.. It showed us how Barry Allen was trying to live the life of a scientist and a superhero, trying to save Central City and people he cared about.

The series also gave us some of DC’s most memorable villains like Reverse-Flash, Captain Cold, and Gorilla Grodd, plus the first real look at the multiverse – a huge deal in comic history. Barry Allen was introduced as The Flash in the Silver Age in 1956, and the series became a major DC title.

More About The Flash #123

The story, called “Flash of Two Worlds,” has Barry Allen running so fast he slips into another universe – one where he meets Jay Garrick, the original Flash from the 1940s. For readers, it was just amazing: the idea that two different versions of the same hero could exist side by side. Written by Gardner Fox and drawn by Carmine Infantino, Flash 123 didn’t just tell a fun story – it created the DC multiverse. That single idea would change decades of comics, movies, and TV shows. Fans still talk about that first meeting between Barry and Jay, the two Flashes.
