Overstreet: "Origin and 1st Appearance of Johnny Quick by Mort Weisinger; classic sci-fi Dr. Fate cover." "All-American's Flash was the preeminent speedster in comic books, but Mort Weisinger reasoned that DC needed one, too. Johnny Quick was the end result, enlivened considerably by Mort Meskin's energetic depiction of the superfast hero in action." — Paul Levitz, 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking.
