Toronto Riverdale CollectionKeeping with the tradition of pairing off adult heroes with kid partners, DC editor Julius Schwartz responded to the success of the rebooted Flash by inserting his nephew, Wally West, as Kid Flash. Readers responded favorably, as the Flash's core audience turned out to be science-savvy and entranced by the lengths gone to by writer John Broome to pepper real data into the Flash's otherwise outlandish exploits. Wally proved to be a smash hit, beginning a tradition of passing the Flash moniker from one generation to the next.This book almost never turns up in this kind of condition. Not only is it the best copy we've offered in nearly twenty years, but is tied for second highest graded, period. Flash collectors are notorious for never letting go of their high-grade treasures -- don't let this opportunity slip by.
