Showcase/i> #4 didn't just introduce the modern version of The Flash. This classic comic — that rarely comes up for auction — is credited with launching the Silver Age of comics that revived an entire industry. Superheroes had become more of an afterthought in post-war comic books before Julius Schwartz revamped the Fastest Man Alive..
. Of course, DC editor Julius Schwartz did more than just swipe the Golden Age idea behind the Fastest Man Alive. His daring idea would lead to the notion of multiverses as DC merged their modern heroes and creations of yesterday. Showcase #4 also helped establish the DC spirit with a fun tale of our new hero taking on a new version of the Golden Age's Turtle Man.
Today, The Flash remains one of the industry's most beloved characters. There's already much anticipation for the character's next big-screen incarnation. Meanwhile, this classic book remains a constant collectible as a hero comic with a heroic place in the comics industry.
Showcase #4 rarely comes up for auction, and this 6.5 copy is exceptional for its grade with white pages and a vibrant array of blazing colors.
