*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 low grade pence-stamped copy, superficially nice with good colour and an unmarked cover. However, there is a jagged v-shaped tear of approx. 8 cm at the lower spine, with a split from its beginning to the bottom of the spine, thus the front cover is off bottom staple. The spine is worn with a small upper split as well, and there is also edge wear and some chipping at bottom right corner. Top staple is well-attached and both staples are firm at centrefold. Pages are a decent off-white to cream. Despite the faults, this presents quite well. From an original owner collection and new to the marketplace.
