American Comics Update: Flash #108 with Gorilla Grodd
*DC: Early issues of Silver Age Flash (which, you’ll remember, started at #105, continuing the Golden Age numbering) don’t turn up too often, so it’s a joy to welcome this copy of Flash #108 to our listings. Featuring the third part of the Gorilla Grodd trilogy which commenced in #106, #108 has two stories by John Broome and Carmine Infantino. Broome’s science-fiction storylines matched perfectly with Infantino’s futuristic cityscapes. This copy is a very presentable pence-stamped lower grade, with rich colour cover (one of DC’s lovely purple background jobs), a worn spine being off at lower staple with a 4 cm split, small colour breaking creases around all the edges and the occasional tiny cover tear. Corner blunting, nice off-white pages turning cream-ish at the edges, staples firm at centre. All in all, not too bad. From an original owner collection and new to the marketplace.
