2020 MINI Electric anniversary of the superhero "The Flash"!

MINI celebrates the superhero “The Flash” during Lucca Changes 2020, the new international trade fair for comics, gaming, animation and fantasy, which takes place from October 29th to November 1st with a rich cultural program that is exclusively available online. “The Flash” is a superhero who, like MINI, has a long history of success. A character that has been modernized and transformed, whose distinctive traits have been renewed, but always remained true to its DNA. The main characteristic of "The Flash" is its unique speed, which allows it to be faster than light. And this year we're celebrating the 80 years since it first appeared in the United States in 1940 on the Flash Comics issue.

DC superhero on the MINI Electric

The DC superhero appears magically and quickly on the new MINI Electric: two true icons of style, design and - without a doubt - speed that come together at Lucca Changes to tell the story of a car that embodies many of the special features of the DC- Comic-Heldens collects: runs fully electrically, makes no noise and is extremely efficient and really powerful. The author, Carmine Di Giandomenico, is one of the most famous and active Italian cartoonists around the world. He is very familiar with the Scarlet Sprinter as he has created more than 34 editions. "The Flash" by Carmine di Giandomenico is a hero who, thanks to its dynamism, makes every page explode while remaining true to the original character. Starting from the costume, Carmine di Giandomenico drew the scarlet sprinter and he also made his own peculiarities, starting with the speed. In 2016, he drew 56 comic tables in 48 hours (five hours earlier than expected). A unique achievement, typical of those with superpowers like the heroes of the DC Comics multiverse, whom he knows so well and which has earned him the nickname "the faster cartoonist in the world".

“The Flash” is seven times faster than light

"The Flash" is a superhero with the ability to move seven times faster than light and to go beyond certain laws of physics. In the first character interpretation, "The Flash" is the alter ego of Jay Garrick, who accidentally inhales heavy water vapor and becomes the fastest man in the world. He wears a red, blue and yellow costume, boots on his feet and a winged helmet on his head, just like Mercury. In the 50s, Barry Allen played “The Flash,” a chemist who was struck by lightning while testing some chemicals. This incident turns him into a superhero with an all red costume wearing a mask instead of a helmet. The work on MINI Electric is a reinterpretation of the historic 123 edition cover by Carmine Infantino, a version that is a fusion between the classic version of "The Flash" (Jay Garrick), and its modern version (Barry Allen), always very popular thanks to various films and TV series. In the background, as in the original book cover, appears the city in which all "The Flash" adventures take place: Central City.

Carmine di Giandomenico is in charge

With the design of the MINI Electric, Carmine di Giandomenico combined a very artistic and dynamic touch with astonishing speed within 10 hours and using a wide variety of techniques - just like "The Flash". MINI's homage to “The Flash” by Lucca Comics was conceived in synergy with Panini Comics - who will publish DC Multiverse Comics in Italy from 2020 onwards. The partnership was announced at a digital press conference. This will also be shared on MINI, Panini Comics and the Lucca Changes social media profile.
