American Update: A classic! Flash Of Two Worlds: Flash #123
*DC: At a time when the Flash is more in the public eye than he has been in decades, we’re very pleased to have back in stock one of his most significant issues. When Barry Allen took over the mantle of the Flash, he acknowledged the original, Jay Garrick, as his inspiration – but only by the medium of comic books he’d read in childhood! It wasn’t until Flash #123, when Barry’s heroic career was well established, that he, and the readers, discovered Jay Garrick wasn’t mere fiction, but was the hero of a parallel world, along with his comrades in the Justice Society of America! This was the first historic meeting between the two Scarlet Speedsters, and opened the interdimensional door to the entire Earth-2 legend, with the Justice Society of America and in due course their heirs and imitators, brought to new generations of readers! Writer Gardner Fox and artist Carmine Infantino were at their respective peaks, and this is one of the most sought-after DC landmarks of the Silver Age. This copy is a UK-stamped pence priced version, a clean, tight VG- with minimal edge and corner wear, supple interiors. The only significant flaw is a light fold (not a subscription crease, we believe) which does break the colour on the ‘A’ of the logo. Nevertheless, a highly desirable copy at £275. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
