1st appearance of Flash, Hawkman, Johnny Thunder (Golden Age w/ origin); Sheldon Moldoff cover; Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)
Flash Comics #1 marked the first appearance of The Flash with a typically distinctive cover, as Golden Age legend Sheldon Moldoff depicted this new hero catching a bullet through a few simple details. Motion lines show the shape of speed, as assisted by the bullet's stylized trajectory from a gun-happy thug in the foreground. In contrast, the accompanying origin story fills an entire panel with text to explain what's deftly shown here.
This issue also remains a top collectible (and serious investment) for introducing two of DC's biggest names: The Flash and Hawkman. The Flash, of course, has gone on to big-screen and small-screen stardom; Hawkman finally made his big-screen debut in Black Adam. Today, fans are hotly anticipating both characters' returns in James Gunn's revamping of the DC Extended Universe. This is a high-level Golden Age key that remains in short supply, with less than 100 copies in the CGC Census.
