Here's the first appearance and origin of the Silver Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl, marking another Golden Age revival following the return of the Flash and Green Lantern. While the two Winged Wonders closely resembled their Golden Age predecessors, they were actually new characters, in fact they were aliens rather than Egyptians! Also making their first appearances were the villainous Byth and Katar Hol's museum colleague Mavis Trent. The art chores were in the hands of Joe Kubert, who had also worked on the Golden Age character. Overstreet 2005 FN 6.0 value = $555. CGC census 12/05: 10 in 5.5, 74 higher.

Detective Comics #225 (DC, 1955) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages. The first Silver Age comic book in the opinion of many is this issue, the first appearance of the Manhunter from Mars and therefore the first significant introduction of a new superhero in the 1950s. The character, now better known as the the Martian Manhunter, has remained popular through the ensuing years; in fact, even kids of 2006 know him from the Cartoon Network! Yet J'onn J'onzz didn't get cover billing in his first comic book -- after all, this is Detective, where Batman is king, and thus Win Mortimer's cover was devoted to the Caped Crusader. The issue's wacky Batman story (drawn by Sheldon Moldoff) has a bunch of average Joes getting to be Batman for a day. The book is difficult to find in grade (only one copy has exceeded the 8.0 mark to date), and this copy, which is new to the market, will make some Silver Age collector very happy. Overstreet 2005 FN 6.0 value = $1,092; VF 8.0 value = $3,331. CGC census 12/05: 4 in 7.0, 7 higher.

Carmine Infantino drew both stories as well as the cover. Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $120. CGC census 12/05: 3 in 9.4, 5 higher.

Green Lantern #1 (DC, 1960) CGC VG 4.0 Off-white to white pages. Publishers were notoriously reluctant to launch a new #1 back in the day, but this one was pretty much a sure thing, as Green Lantern had aced a tryout in the pages of Showcase.

Justice League of America #21 (DC, 1963) CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages. No copy of this issue has been graded higher by CGC to date, and we're talking about a key issue for Golden and Silver Age fans alike! That's because it's got the return of comics' first super-team, the Justice Society! Not only that, it's the first time the terms "Earth-One" and "Earth-Two" appeared in a comic, and it was the first of the many "Crisis..." stories teaming up the JLA and JSA.

Showcase #4 The Flash - Mohawk Valley pedigree (DC, 1956) CGC VF+ 8.5 Cream to off-white pages. This is the comic that revitalized comics, ushering in the era we know and cherish as the Silver Age!! It's the first appearance of the Silver Age Flash, Barry Allen. The book came out at a time when the comic book industry was at a low point and there seemed to be next to no demand for existing superheroes, never mind new ones. But DC took the risk in this series, which featured new tryout features every couple of issues. But rather than re-presenting the established Golden Age character Jay Garrick, metal helmet and all, this character had a new identity, costume, and origin. The experiment was a success, and Barry got his own title after a few more Showcase appearances. The story, written by Bob Kanigher and drawn by Carmine Infantino and Joe Kubert, also featured the first appearance of Barry's girlfriend Iris West. It trails only Amazing Fantasy #15 on Overstreet's list of the most valuable Silver Age books. This is one of the nicest copies you'll find of this key comic. Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $13,200; VF/NM 9.0 value = $27,600. CGC census 12/05: 1 in 8.5, 4 higher.

This fourth issue of DC's tryout series brought back the name and character concept from the Golden Age, but with a new name (Barry Allen), costume, and origin. Barry's best girl Iris West also made her first appearance in the issue. Carmine Infantino and Joe Kubert provided the art. The book is the second most valuable Silver Age comic according to Overstreet, and only a small handful of copies have been graded higher by CGC to date. Overstreet 2005 VF 8.0 value = $13,200. CGC census 12/05: 6 in 8.0, 5 higher.

Showcase #4 The Flash (DC, 1956) CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white pages. Here's the first appearance of that famous scarlet speedster, Barry Allen, aka the Silver Age Flash. The new character's debut, at a time when superheroes were out of fashion, started a new wave of popularity for costumed crimefighters that hasn't abated to this day. Showcase was, of course, a tryout series, and the Flash's tryout was a success thanks in part to Flash's great new look designed by Carmine Infantino, the art of Infantino and Joe Kubert, and a zippy origin story by Bob Kanigher. More Showcase appearances would soon follow. Overstreet 2005 FN 6.0 value = $3,600; VF 8.0 value = $13,200. CGC census 12/05: 1 in 7.0, 15 higher.

Joe Kubert provided the cover, and shared interior art chores with Carmine Infantino. This book could not be encapsulated by CGC due to an overhang along the top. It has had color touch, pieces added, has been cleaned and pressed, and has tear seals. Overstreet 2005 GD 2.0 value = $1,200; VG 4.0 value = $2,400; FN 6.0 value = $3,600.

It's a fine display of what made the hero a fan favorite, as Barry Allen races all over the globe righting a multitude of wrongs, and still gets back in time for lunch with his best girl Iris. In the second feature, Flash takes on the villainy of Mr. Element, who makes his first appearance. Both of the stories and the cover were drawn by Carmine Infantino.

The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (Marvel, 1963) CGC Apparent FN+ 6.5 Slight (A) Cream to off-white pages. The designation of "amateur" restoration seems a bit harsh to us in this case -- while that term conjures up visions of tape and ball point pen, what we have here is a very nice-looking copy of this key issue. And by "key" we mean events like the first Fantastic Four crossover and the first appearances of John Jameson, J. Jonah Jameson, and the Chameleon, all by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko! CGC notes, "Restoration includes: Staples cleaned. (Top edge of cover trimmed). Overstreet 2005 GD 2.0 value = $875; VG 4.0 value = $1,750; FN 6.0 value = $2,625; VF 8.0 value = $8,750.
