Flash Comics was an anthology comic book published by All-American Publications and later National Periodicals (DC Comics). The title ran for 104 issues between January 1940 to February 1949. Although the name of the comic book was Flash Comics, the Flash was only one of many different series featured in the magazine. Many DC Comics characters first appear in Flash Comics, including the Flash, Hawkman, Hawkgirl (as Shiera Sanders), Black Canary, and Johnny Thunder.

Series published in Flash Comics include:

Towards the end of the 1940s, superhero comics fell out of favor and the All-American line of comics were all cancelled. Flash Comics was cancelled in 1949 with issue #104.
