Similar to the question I had about Earth-1 and Earth-2's Batmen...

I keep finding more and more cool comics in the basement at my workplace, and I just uncovered a bunch of Flash comics (issues 200-350, roughly), and was wondering what the can't-miss events in the life of Barry Allen are covered in these issues. Such as...

*introduction of the Reverse-Flash (kind of a dumb name, but the concept and costume have made him one of mu favorite villains since I first saw him in the early issues of DC Comics Presents)
*Wally West joins the Teen Titans
*Barry's marriage to Iris West
*Iris learns Barry's ID
*Barry officially (& permanently) reveals his ID to Iris
*Death of Iris (Flash #275)
*Introduction of Fiona Webb
*Death of Reverse-Flash (Flash #324?)
*Trial of the Flash (ends in #350, but when did it start, officially?)
*Death of the Flash (Crisis #8)


I already know some of these, but figured that I might as well get the whole thing in one place. Feel free to toss in any other highlights that I should check out. Thanks for any responses.

Death of Iris.

Oh, how that struck a chord. Back in the days of no early press releases, that was completely unexpected. I remember reading every issue following, avidly, expecting Iris to return.

Whatever happened to Fiona Webb?

IIRC, an alternate version of her appeared in the first Geoff Johns story, Wonderland, but I don't believe the original has been seen post-Crisis.

Anyone?

Aren't there some hints that she might be Detective Morillo's (sp) unseen wife?

The trial (I loved this series, btw, though I seemed to be in a quite small minority), IIRC, started around #330. That would be a good place to start flipping, at any rate.

Anniversary issue #300 is a good primer on Flash - double issue and a recollection of key villains, events, etc
