Description
Flash Comics #1 (DC, 1940) CGC FN+ 6.5 Cream to off-white pages. The only two copies graded higher than this one by CGC to date are a VF+ 8.5 and the 9.6 Mile High, the latter of which sold in a Heritage auction for $273,125. And we previously auctioned the other 6.5 copy (which also had cream to off-white pages) for $33,460. What we love about the copy we're offering here is the lack of any staining, foxing, or the like, most notably on the pink "floor" at lower right which seems to appear mottled on most any copy you'll find. This key has the first appearances of the Flash, Hawkman, Johnny Thunder, and Shiera Sanders (the future Hawkgirl). Since those first two are among the most famous comic characters of all time, no wonder this comic is in Overstreet's Top Ten! The cover art for this milestone issue is credited to Sheldon Moldoff. Overstreet 2008 FN 6.0 value = $20,550; VF 8.0 value = $51,500. CGC census 4/08: 3 in 6.5, 2 higher. From the Kylberg Collection.CGC Grader Notes:
