American Update: Flash #139 – debut of 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. This copy is in very sound shape, good unfaded cover colour, a cents priced copy with no UK overprint, and would grade higher than the stated GD/VG but for a small triangular area of historical water marking on the cover (most visible at the lower left corner) which penetrates to the first 6 story pages, but does not impact upon the panels, being confined to the lower margin.) An opportunity to acquire a key issue for a relatively modest £80. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
