Origin & 1st Flash, Hawkman, Johnny Thunder; Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)Flash Comics boasted some of the most distinctive and finely drawn covers of the Golden Age, thanks to the skill of artists such as Sheldon Moldoff. His malleable style worked well both for children's cartoon comics and action-packed hero books. As seen on this classic cover, Moldoff's fine lines and deft sense of drama create one of the comic industry's most lasting images. The artist communicates the character's super skills with a few simple details, including the sense of speed created by motion lines and the path of a bullet fired by the thug in the foreground. These elements combine to form a perfect introduction to the newly-minted hero.
This issue remains a top collectible and serious investment for introducing the world to two of DC Comics' biggest names: The Flash and Hawkman. The Flash, of course, has gone on to big-screen and small-screen stardom; Hawkman made his big-screen debut in
Black Adam, and fans are hotly anticipating both characters' future roles in James Gunn's revamping of the DC Extended Universe.This restored example of Flash Comics #1 will undoubtedly please those Fastest Man Alive fans out there that have had their eye on a copy of this important key but find themselves priced out of the unrestored market. Restored books are enjoying a greater acceptance in the marketplace, as original condition copies are often too rare or too expensive for some collectors to obtain. We hope to make some determined Flash fan's dream come true with this special copy. Golden Age keys are always sought after, be they high or low grade, original condition or restored.
