The Silver Age Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2025: How Flash Saved the Comic Book Industry

My best-selling book ‘Understanding Superhero Comic Books’ available on Amazon at https://a.co/d/46kaLv6

In 1955, comic book companies were struggling to stay afloat after a rough five years of censorship, a changing readership, and the invention of television. During an editorial meeting at National Periodical Publications, somebody suggested bringing back the company’s superheroes. National settled on a redesign of an old character—The Flash—and the world would never be the same. This created Marvel Comics and the Marvel Age. Michael Lites, Bill Field (Neal Adams, Master Illustrator), Alex Grand (Understanding Superhero Comic Books), Kevin Garcia, Bob Burden (Flaming Carrot, Mystery Men), and Philip Nelson (Nelco Comics) investigate how the reintroduction of this superhero became a smash hit and inspired a resurgence of imagination that saved the industry.
