Max Crandall

Max Crandall made his DC Comics debut in 1989's Young All-Stars #27, a creation of the Thomas writing team and Dave Simons that planted roots reaching all the way to the present day — an impressive 36-year span for any character. His most frequent stomping grounds are the Flash and Impulse family of titles, which tells you everything about the lightning-charged corner of the DC Universe he calls home, sharing pages with speedster royalty like Wally West, Bart Allen, and Max Mercury. With 42 catalog appearances, two of them collector-recognized key issues, Max Crandall is a Copper Age gem worth tracking down for any fan who loves the rich, interconnected lore of DC's fastest mythology.
