Showcase has been the title of several anthology series published by DC Comics.
The best-known issue of Showcase is #4, which introduced an updated version of the Flash.

 Amazon.com: Showcase Presents: Jonah Hex, Vol. 1 (Showcase Presents): Books: John Albano,Arnold Drake,Michael ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Jonah Hex, DC comics 1970's version of Clint Eastwood's Man with no name character from the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, was a staple in the DC universe.
Hex was a stark departure from the straight-laced "Roy Rogers"-style westerns and "western superheroes" that had dominated the genre in comics for decades (and I say that with affection for both those kinds of western comics).
For a comic written in the early 1970's it takes on topical issues and doesn't hold back.This is not the Vertigo version of Hex but it provides one with a wonderful feel of after the civil war Americana.

In the first panels of the comic, brothers Hank and Don Hall are introduced.

Super-speedsters hae been a comic book staple since the beginning, but of all the fleet-footed heroes of the four-color page, none have endured as has The Flash, the fastest man alive.
Seven years later, when the superhero comic regained popularity, The Flash was reborn, this time in the pages of Showcase #4, in the guise of police scientist Barry Allen, struck by lightning and doused in a chemical bath.
