Here's one of our favorites around here, Fred Guardineer, with a particularly stylish tale of Quality's Quicksilver. later re-christened Max Mercury by Mark Waid when DC revived the character. He doesn't seem in the stories I've seen to be all that much of a speedster--more of just an all-round super kind of guy. Guardineer lived long enough to be acknowledged and feted by fandom for his years of Golden Age comics work.

Prior to your entry here, the one Quicksilver comic that I recall having seen was that posted by Paul Christley Tumey at Cole's Comics.
As Cole depicted the character, he was definitely a speedster. Now, he also exhibited the sorts of feats of strength that one doesn't generally see from the heroes whose speed is taken to be their defining super-power, but of course it becomes harder to explain these characters if they don't have an incredible underlying strength.
