Infantino cover/art; 1st Silver Age Flash in his own title; origin and 1st app. Mirror Master (2-3/59) Comic Book Impact rating of 8 (CBI)
DC Premiere CollectionHaving proved the viability of reviving Golden Age heroes with several top-selling Showcase appearances, DC editor Julius Schwartz, alongside the creative team of Carmine Infantino and John Broome, dusted off the original Flash Comics title and streamlined it for the Atomic Age. It's amazing to ponder, in comparison with the modern-day penchant for rebooting titles, that this re-introduction was a truly risky venture in the painfully crunched Silver Age comic market. It's unsurprising that DC carefully attached this shiny new Flash to the history of the original to reassure buyers and newsstand owners alike that this was a proven property. It turns out they need not have worried, as this issue cemented the hero resurgence and a flood of new cape books soon washed over the market.
Continuing the numbering from the original Flash Comics, this first issue of the Silver Age iteration of the Flash has been a popular collector’s fave for years, but the success of the Scarlet Speedster’s TV series and a planned Flash film project raise this book’s profile dramatically. The colors on this book are fresh and clean from smooth greens to hot pinks, as the palette retains its original glow. Mild wear around the perimeter of the book does not affect the action in the center, which shows the Flash squaring off against one of his most popular nemeses, the Mirror Master.
Overstreet Guide 2019 F/VF (7.0) value = $5,500.
