"By 1956 The Flash, 26, was slowing down"
Don't you just love when the press, the respectable mainstream press does nil research and gets facts wrong?
Hello? Hey Newsday, the Flash was dead in the water as of 1951 - not slowing down. His books were cancelled and he no longer appeared in any form. He was for all extensive purposes gone and forgotten. And what is up with "26," they're not trying to imply an age on the character, are they? The Flash (the original, Golden Age version, at least) was created by Gardner Fox and Harry Lambert in 1940, making him 16 in 1956.
I'm not asking for hours of research... how about half a minute on frigging Google?

P.S. If DC is treating Carmine Infantino anything at all like all their other old guard creators - he deserves every single penny he's asking for!
