Bartholomew Allen

So in recent months... Ive been picking up the graphic novel compilations of the Teen Titans. One person on the team particularly stood out to me. Absolutely adore the lil' guy. Bart Allen. (A.K.A. Impulse A.K.A. Kid Flash II A.K.A. Flash IV)

I can't explain what it was about him, but I just do. I guess it's the "Single Synapse Theory" of his behavior and the entire reading the entire San Fransisco Public Library in 20 minutes straight out of re-constructive knee surgery without anesthetic... and not a single complaint. That endeared him to me.

So the last couple of weeks, I've been hunting down DC compilations involving him. (Nothing against Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, and Wally West, but they just haven't caught my interest.) If anyone can point me to a list, it'd be much appreciated. Looks like most of the Impulse comic series was never compiled. This is why I typically avoid DC and Marvel series like the plague: I can't buy just one title if I want to follow a character, I have to search him out across fifty. Right now, I have 1-6 of the Teen Titans compilations, a couple of Flash ones from when he was Impulse, a Flash one about his death ( I just found out this weekend. I'm not up on DC events, so sue me.), and the Impulse #1-6 compilation.

So, I've tried my hand at drawing him. Not too shabby, right?
