Me and Frozentundra thought it would be cool if we each shared our top 5 Flash covers of all time to celebrate this awesome achievement! Lets start thinking about our top 5 and start sharing and discussing our lists. (it's gonna be hard for me to narrow it down to 5 but I'll try)

First off I will admit I don't have many of what I would term the top books of the series, so I'm just going to post the top 5 books that are in my collection, in order from the 5th best first down to my favorite last. I went through my Flash books and narrowed it down to 5, but it was really a toss up. I had to leave issues 134, 136 and 145 off of my list, but they just as easily could have made it.

Without further fuss here is my 5th favorite Silver Age Flash book. I like the 3 part cover with the shift from the age of the dinosaurs to the rocket age.

For me its 125, 131, 123,153, 155

Love those SciFi covers! Also love Golden Age Flash so I had to put 123 in there and of course that Rogues cover just awesome. Any thing time travel and Science Fiction related, I just loved those stories the best and of course the classic covers that accompanied those stories. So here you have it my personal favorite 5 covers of Silver Age Flash! (Subject to change from time to timelol) :cloud9:

A lot of Flash covers are some of my favorite covers of the Silver Age. Some were off-beat and quirky but so well done it's really hard to narrow it down to just 5, but here goes.

I've tried to make an effort to get CGC graded copies of my favorite Flash covers. These are the 5 through 2 in no particular order.

Oddly though, I don't have a CGC graded copy of my favorite Flash cover, #174.

And these 4 are honorable mentions, I have a soft spot for covers featuring the Rogues Gallery and the other campy humor covers.

I've always wondered about this cover. Why does Flash need a gun to kill someone? Is not his super-speed lethal enough? Also, it looks like he's fleeing the Capitol building, so am I to conclude the "most important man in America" is a member of Congress, not the President, but the story shows him attempting to kill the President in the White House. The story itself is a clever take on a "Manchurian Candidate" type story.
