Showcase #4 didn't just introduce the modern version of the Flash — the issue is credited with launching the Silver Age of comics while saving an entire arm of the publishing industry. Superheroes had actually become an afterthought in post-war comic books before Julius Schwartz re-designed the Fastest Man Alive. Showcase #4 helped establish the DC spirit with a fun tale of our new hero taking on a revamped version of the Golden Age's Turtle Man. The Flash remains one of the industry's most beloved characters, and 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.Overstreet Guide 2022 GD (2.0) value = $7,800.
