Happy 80th Anniversary to the Golden Age Quicksilver (Quality Comics)

First appearance of his feature: National Comics #5, cover-dated November 1940 (and according to the GCD, on-sale date of September 6th, 1940).





His last Golden Age appearance looks like it was sixty-eight issues later in National Comics #73, cover-dated August 1949:


In the early 1970s, when DC was regularly publishing the "100-Page Super Spectaculars", a Quicksilver reprint (originally from National Comics #67) appeared in The Flash #214 <DC 100-Page Super Spectacular DC-11>, cover-dated April 1972.



But unlike fellow Quality Comics feature characters like The Ray and Uncle Sam, Quicksilver was not used in the original line-up of The Freedom Fighters in 1973's Justice League of America #107-108.

(Whether Marvel Comics introduction of their own super-speedster named Quicksilver back in early 1964 had anything to do with it, . . . )

Quicksilver did get an entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe Vol. XIX (September 1986)


After Crisis on Infinite Earths, he also made appearances in Young All-Stars when the Freedom Fighters were mentioned (like this one from issue #2, cover-dated July 1987):  


He even showed up in an issue of Grant Morrison's Animal Man (issue #25, cover-dated July 1990):


But it was in the pages of The Flash #76 (May 1993) that the character's next big chapter would begin.
