American Update: DC Debuts – First Appearances of Kid Flash and the Weather Wizard in Flash #110
*DC: This issue has a double-feature of debuts, of one of Barry Allen’s closest allies and one of his most relentless nemeses. The cover devotes itself to the meteorological shenanigans of the Weather Wizard, making the first of many appearances, but lurking unheralded within is the debut and origin of Wally West, aka Kid Flash, who shared Barry’s adventures (and became an integral part of the Teen Titans) for decades before assuming the mantle of the Flash himself. This early issue of the Silver Age Flash (which relaunched with #105, following the numbering of the Golden Age Flash Comics) is a nice mid-grade pence stamped copy, with a great colour cover, firm staples at spine and centrefold, very nice off-white pages and a minimum of wear (slight corner blunting). Its worst fault is a small 2.5 cm colour-breaking crease across the bottom cover right edge, with a tiny chip out at its higher end. Beautifully supple and a joy to possess.
