American Update: The Fastest Men Alive! The First Three Superman/Flash Races!
*DC: A perennial fandom hot topic since the early Silver Age was “Who’s fastest, Superman or the Flash?” Amazingly, DC held off until 1967 to address, if not precisely answer, the question, with Superman #199, in which the Kryptonian Crusader and the Vizier of Velocity were forced to compete against each other for the title of World’s Swiftest Mortal. So hugely popular was this issue that a rematch was staged in Flash #175, later the same year, and a third bout, expanded to two parts, in World’s Finest #198 & #199 in 1970, with the tag-line, “This time… there MUST be a winner!”. So who was the winner? Hey, buy the books and find out! These three epic races are all new to our stocks this week: Superman #199 is FN+p £175; Flash #175 is FN+p £65 and World’s Finest #198 & #199 are both FN+ p at £40 each. We expect all these issues to move almost as fast as our fleet-footed competitors, so act with appropriate celerity if you want to nab them! SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
