*DC: As everyone knows (or should), the Silver Age of Comics is generally acknowledged to have begun with Showcase #4, which revived the Flash persona in the form of Barry Allen, Police Scientist, in a new streamlined legend for the Space Age. A hit with the new Space-Age readership, the Flash, sleekly illustrated by Carmine Infantino, was brought back for three more appearances in the tryout magazine Showcase and this, #14, was his final ‘audition’ before gaining his own series. Predating UK distribution, this is a cents copy, with a beautiful deep purple cover, unfaded by the passing decades. Minor corner and edge wear, a minuscule chip at the top cover edge, and a small sealed tear on the back cover, are the only detracting factors from this outstanding copy for its vintage. Given its unusual state of preservation, its scarcity, and the increasing popularity of the Flash character, we are selling this VG/FN copy of Showcase #14 at £700. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
