American 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 have caused his early appearances to zoom (sorry) upwards in value. We are delighted to welcome a very affordable low grade copy of the Reverse-Flash into our inventory. This pence-stamped copy has more than moderate spine wear, is off bottom staple with a 4 cm lower spine split. Plenty of cover creasing, some long, some short, some breaking colour and some not, and wear at edges, with a couple of short back cover tears. Small label removal scuff mark over Comics Code Box. Still, staples firm at centrefold, good cover colour and decent pages. A half decent reading copy of a key issue.
