And the supporting characters, villains, and viewers alike have to move pretty fast to keep up. He’s been running, as he did so iconically in Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman and George Perez back in 1985, to save the world, to save the universe, to save the multi-verse, to save us all. The Flash has been running, in one form or another, for 75 years. Some, like writer Geoff Johns, who plays a large role in the CW program, have done a pretty good job of keeping up the record pace. Other comic creators have been running to catch up ever since. When Infantino teamed up in the early 1960s with writer Gardner Fox, who had written adventures about the original Golden Age Flash 20 years earlier, it was fast and furious fun. The standard for speed was set early on with the incomparable artwork of the great Carmine Infantino, whose figures looked more natural in motion than when standing still, and whose comic books pages forced the reader’s eye to keep moving moving moving. The pacing also matches the DC comic books in which the character originated. The Flash, after all, is the “Fastest Man Alive”. It’s a program whose pacing matches the nature of its superhero star’s powers.
