Rather than parading the same old character stories, DC Comics decided to completely reinvent old Golden Age favorites, launching the Silver Age of comic books.
Originally featured in Showcase #4, the Flash soon spawned his own comic, simply known as The Flash. (Read our full article on Showcase values here.)

Showcase #4 Value: Origin and First Appearance of the Silver Age Flash
1st Appearance of Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash
Record Sale: $179,250
Minimum Value: $3,000
Barry Allen asks, "I wonder what it would really be like — to be the fastest man on earth?" and he soon finds out.
In Showcase #4, Barry Allen makes his first appearance as The Flash in DC Comics. The previous Flash, Jay Garrick, also makes an appearance in the comic. Turtle Man, a villain, makes his first appearance and so do Iris West, Central City, and Flash's Costume Ring.
Revived in 1956 by Robert Kanigher (writer), Carmine Infantino, and Joe Kubert (cover artists), Showcase decided to show off the "Fastest Man Alive!" in the stories, The Man Who Broke the Time Barrier! and The Mystery of the Human Thunderbolt!
Reinventing the iconic character, DC began to change the way stories are told, hoping to continually make improvements on storytelling in general.
The Flash DC Comics was also featured in Showcase #8, #13 and #14, his second, third and fourth Silver Age appearances:

Published as Flash #123, Flash of Two Worlds! was an absolutely groundbreaking comic book.

Another stepping stone to forming the DC multiverse, the idea was to combine the dimensional boundaries of fictional, yet parallel worlds.
