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.
This Showcase #4 earned a 7.5 Universal Grade from CGC, bearing off-white to white pages. The classic Infantino and Kubert cover looks stunning here, with the reds, yellows, and oranges highlighting the new Silver Age Flash who just seems to jump off the page. The cover copy, including the title, logo, and CCA stamp are all stunningly sharp. This is a very clean copy for its grade, the inclusion of the Silver Age Flash in the DCEU and on TV’s Arrowverse has certainly given this historic comic a real boost in the marketplace.
Overstreet Guide 2021 VF- (7.5) value = $56,200
