Own the birth of a hero with the Alex Ross Origins: FLASH Lithograph.
How do you capture the moment a man becomes a hero you call Alex Ross that’s how. Never forget the scarlet speedsters first run with ORIGINS: FLASH by the talented Alex Ross. Just two months after the June release of Origins: Superman, Origins: Flash is set to speed into your collection starting Tuesday, September 4, 2018. This beautiful lithograph of the Flash’s beginnings is available exclusively at Alex Ross Art and showcases the now-classic story of how Barry Allen’s forensic lab became the birthplace of a hero when lightning strikes and causes a chemical spill and explosion giving the world The Flash.
Alex Ross expressed his love for the character when he said “I’ve been a fan of the Flash for years, and I was one of those fan-creators who was always pushing to get the original Barry Allen Flash back, I always wanted to get that identity back to the character — the simplicity of his concept and design.”
The prestige-format print is hand-numbered, signed by Alex Ross, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Originally appearing in 2002’s JLA: Secret Origins (great read by the way), Ross’s illustration takes fans on a striking visual journey through the formative first steps of the Silver Age Flash. The Barry Allen Flash was created by Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino and made his first appearance in DC Comics’ Showcase #4 way back in 1956.
And you guessed it Origins: Flash will come in two separate editions: a Standard Release for $50 or the Artist’s Proof Signed Edition for $150. They are sized at 14 1/2″ x 15 1/2″ and come carefully matted on foam core in an edition size of 100 for the regular release, and just 25 for the Artist’s Proof. Both editions are available at Alex Ross Art on Tuesday, September 4 at 3 PM ET and customers are highly encouraged to join the waitlist, so don’t let this deal speed away.
