The Flash is my favorite DC superhero (yes, more than Batman). I like his costume and powers the most, and would preferred being him in chlldhoos fantasies. I got this book when it came out, or “graphic novel” of a fictitious biographical nature, if you prefer (which isn’t canon anymore, with this and that crisis comics always have to reset their timelines). A fun read for the young at heart. (
