Is Jay Garrick catching on with Millennial Flash fans? 0

I'm clearly missing something current....background, please? Is Garrick appearing in the TV show?

GA Flashes are (mostly) bargains compared to many of their peers today, and many are not the easiest to find nice copies of. It's a run that deserves more love.

Yeah the original post is hard to follow without some context.   WTF are you talking about OP?

Hoping millennial fans become GA Flash fans is a real stretch I would think. I remember thinking how the original Flash looked completely dated when I was a kid back in the early seventies. I came to appreciate him as an adult but as a kid not so much. I remember we had picked up some real tattered Flash and Wonder Woman books and the art seemed so weird and the Winky Blinky and Nod characters were really wacky.

I do vividly remember seeing an antique dealer at a flea market with a copy of All Flash #1 for $20. back in '71 or '72.  It might as well have been twenty thousand dollars to me at the time. Too bad!

I run into quite a bit of young Flash fans at my LCS 's and am surprised that they all know of jay Garrick and find him "cool".  It's TV show related as I understand he's been a big part of the story line but the recent incarnation of  art work too (Alex Ross--maybe others ?) seems to come up as well. Im not familiar with the Earth 2 story lines and how this plays into comics these days......

Thank you! Good question; I would think if he's truly becoming popular with current storyline/TV series fans, they would gravitate to his silver key first, Flash #123. Eventually, if they stay with it, I would think some would migrate to GA. Treasure trove of relative bargains among Flash Comics, All-Flash, Comic Cavalcade.
