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)
Kentucky 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.
The imminent release of the DCEU’s upcoming Flash solo movie and the character’s successful Arrowverse series have given the Scarlet Speedster plenty of momentum which has created a great deal of demand for his key comics, so, we present this very attractive copy to our clientele. This book has undergone a minor amount of restoration which has lifted it into the upper reaches of the CGC census. There are many copies of this book available at lower grades, but they get scarcer as you move up into the higher grades, typical of Silver Age DC keys, they are extremely hard to find in great shape. This is an advised investment book as the Flash is poised for another jump in value.
Overstreet Guide 2020 VF (8.0) value = $8,880.
