This internal comic book advertisement is from Justice League 19, from the October 1990 issue. I was bat crap crazy excited back then when it was a certainty that The Flash was coming to TV.
And... I was NOT disappointed. I have the original DVD box set and it is one of my prized possessions. The Flash is AWESOME! And if you have never watched the first, and only season of the live action greatness, then shame on you.
There is NO camp in The Flash! There is very little comedy in The Flash. This is pretty much a straight drama... and those who are shot with bullets die! Several of the comic book enemies of The Flash battle him.
To me, the speed affects were ahead of their time. You have to watch the show to decide for yourself... but I still love what was done all these decades ago -- on TV!
Wow! Imagine if CBS released this same ad today... for The Flash 2014. I would be there with skittles and an Arizona Iced Tea, plus popcorn minus the cell phone!
Where is The Flash on TV or the big screen? Come on folks at Warner Brothers ... we can handle it!
