Was there an ancient version of Flash Comics, where stories of Hawkman and Johnny Quick appeared?<br />Joan Swift accidentally pronounced the speed formula in Adventure Comics #181 while going over some physics papers. She created a costume like Johnny's and dubbed herself the Queen of Speed. When the effect faded, she was unable to locate the formula in the papers again and couldn't recall it from memory.Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598465647270663106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-56111957348943452582010-03-13T16:23:17.201-08:002010-03-13T16:23:17.201-08:00This was before Johnny Quick turned heel and joine...This was before Johnny Quick turned heel and joined the Earth-3 Crime Syndicate...rnigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370724366178429029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-34729768645526430672010-03-01T04:12:38.929-08:002010-03-01T04:12:38.929-08:00Chuck, that would have been a project I'd have...Chuck, that would have been a project I'd have supported.

It's a tough call between these gems, and admittedly a fine line separates them, but there you go.<br /><br />Murphy Anderson once told me at a convention that he had lobbied DC editorial staff very hard in the mid-to-late 1980's to allow him to produce a mini-series using many of the old Quality Comics heroes, particularly the Lou Fine characters. I remember seeing his nice sketch of Quicksilver in person. Too bad that project never got off the ground.Chuck Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529750105224374839noreply@blogger.com
