Where it came from
Published in 1961, The Flash issue 123 is widely considered one of the most important comics of the Silver Age. Titled 'Flash of Two Worlds,' the story written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Carmine Infantino introduced the concept of the multiverse to DC Comics. By depicting the current Flash, Barry Allen, meeting the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick, the issue effectively bridged the gap between DC's past and present, fundamentally altering the publisher's narrative structure for decades to come.
The creative team intentionally crafted the issue to reconcile continuity discrepancies that had emerged since the introduction of new versions of classic characters. Carmine Infantino's dynamic, clean-lined artwork helped establish the visual language for the Flash's speed, while the story's success proved that readers were enthusiastic about complex, multi-dimensional storytelling. It remains a hallmark of comic book history for successfully legitimizing the existence of alternate timelines within the shared DC Universe.
