Red Flash Comic

The Red Flash Comic was a short-lived, two-issue series published across multiple small presses—Marx, Philmar, P.M. Productions, Amex, and Bairns—during the late 1940s. A product of the post-war comic boom, it featured a costumed hero whose adventures were typical of the era’s masked crime-fighters. Though brief, the series offers a snapshot of the transitional period when many minor publishers tried to capitalize on the superhero craze before the industry shifted toward horror, crime, and romance. Its scarcity and multiple publisher changes make it a curious footnote for collectors of obscure Golden Age characters.
