American Comics Update: DC Debuts: Flash #139, 1st Professor Zoom
*DC: After #123 (‘Flash of Two Worlds’, as if you need telling), and the premier issue (#105), probably the most in-demand issue of the Silver Age Flash is #139, which featured the first appearance of Professor Zoom, the Reverse-Flash, Barry Allen’s super-swift nemesis from the far-flung future, whose appearances in the popular Flash television series caused his early appearances to zoom (sorry) upwards in value. We are delighted to welcome a nice mid-grade pence printed copy to our inventory this week. It has the rich colours that DC did so well, an unmarred cover scene, tight, firm staples and supple white to off-white pages. There are three very small colour-breaking creases across the bottom right cover corner, and some handling wear at spine and around bottom staple, but overall a sound copy that would be a joy to own.
