It’s time to go back to the very beginning! This week on Trivia Tuesday, we’re covering the stories and characters who started it all, in the Golden Age of DC Comics! Most comic historians place the beginning of the Silver Age as the publication of SHOWCASE #4, the debut of Barry Allen as The Flash, on July 5th, 1956. So every comic available on DC Universe up to that date is on the table! So rifle through your grandparents’ collection if you’ve got it, or just take a deep dive into the earliest end of our collection without hurting the resale value.
