What if the Flash of Two Worlds was incorrectly identified as the origin of the DC comics multiverse? Featuring Wonder Woman, the DCU, + much more…
Manage episode 365824262 series 2951122
For episode 101, we explore the history of the multiverse in DC comics...and it's not what you think! We provide a (brief) overview of the first examples of multiversal theory in fiction and science before discussing the first multiverse story in DC comics (which is NOT The Flash but rather in the pages of Wonder Woman)! We then discuss the iconic and meta Flash of Two Worlds and the first use of the term "multiverse" from an All-Star Squadron story by Roy Thomas.
Ep. 101 What if the Flash of Two Worlds was incorrectly identified as the origin of the DC Multiverse?
Infinite earths as seen in hundreds of DC comic books
For the start of our NEXT 100 episodes, we travel to the beginning of the multiverse in DC comics when Wonder Woman encounters an alternate universe version of herself back in 1953! We then tackle the iconic and super meta Flash story "Flash of Two Worlds" from Carmine Infantino and multiversal godfather Gardner Fox which brings together Barry Allen and Jay Garrick for the first time! We wrap up in the pages of All-Star Squadron which sees the Justice Society of America (or more preciously Doctor Fate) travel to a very Ditko-esque universe to battle The Spectre and to utter the word "multiverse" for the first time in DC comics courtesy of the legendary Roy Thomas. Plus Michael Moorcock, William James, Spider-Verse the upcoming Flash DCU film and much more.
Reading List:
- Wonder Woman #59 (1953)
- The Flash #123 (1961)
- All-Star Squadron #27 (1983)
