Quote:I'd argue that the main reason Flash was tried a second time was that everything else featured in Showcase up to that point had been an unambiguous and resounding failure, and that even a modest success was grounds for hope. I suggest that if Flash had been more than a marginal success, he'd have been brought back for more than a single issue run in #8--and that in turn if the results of #8 had been more definite, there would have been no necessity for a third attempt in #13-14, which finally convinced DC that Flash was worth continuing. The nearly two year spread covered by this series of test runs was a culturally important period of development in American culture--in popular music and televison, for instance. Same thing for comics.
