Albert Desmond

Born in the Silver Age pages of Mammoth Annual #1 in 1959, Albert Desmond is a DC Comics figure whose story has wound through more than five decades of adventures alongside some of the publisher's most iconic names. With Green Lantern, The Flash, Barry Allen, and Wally West all sharing his pages, Desmond has kept genuinely electrifying company across his appearances in Flash and The Flash. Three of his appearances carry key-issue status — a mark of real collector significance for a character with a relatively focused 29-issue catalog footprint. Created by the legendary Silver Age pairing of Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson, Albert Desmond is the kind of deep-cut DC discovery that rewards the curious fan who looks beyond the headliners.
