    Default Jay Garrick (Golden Age Flash) appreciation thread


    Still waiting to see if / how / when he finally returns (for more than just a few pages until he's gone to wherever again).

    Well that's not SO unique.

    If Geoff Johns is involved, it IS unique (unfortunately).

    I am annoyed that Jay didn't come back at the end of the button.

    My first ever exposure to a superhero on comic book pages bar Superman and Batman. Jay was an instant hit for me. (I miss that Superhero Origin Story (all Golden Age) library book. Some jerk stole it years ago and the library couldn't get a reprint. It also had the story of The Green Lantern. *sigh*)
    Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)

    I got reminded of this in the Wally West thread. I really liked Jay's appearances as a guest star in The Flash in the silver age. It was usually to fight a big villain.

    First Edition! (Although in that horrible Library plastic cover mess.) I do miss the local library we had before it shut down. Good times.
