Great seeing him deal with his new abilities.

Funny panel. Really shows you what it's like for him. Makes it feel believable.

Oh the irony.

Very cool. But why does he see only some events in slow motion?

Very noble as opposed to Peter Parker...

Kinda silly, but it looks cool.

I love this one.

I'm glad the original owner didn't use the coupon.

Expired almost 60 years ago!

Turtle man was a really lame villain. Cool to see flash running on water. He does a lot in one issue.

Does she ever find out?

This villain looks more interesting.

Sending criminals back in time.... Somebody got fired for that one.

I love Flash's ear wings. Very cool design.

Flash seems insanely powerful......

I bet readers were mad they had to wait almost 8 months for the next Flash story.

Maybe they thought it was just a neat one shot.

I can see how people could have easily missed this first issue.

Great stuff!

I picked this up a couple months ago, about 700 pages big. 2nd omnibus comes out November 15th

Got one myself.

These archives Omnibuses are the best way to relive these great old stories and art.

Flash #106 CGC 8.5 ($6000)

 

 

Flash #139 CGC 9.2 NFC ($5800)

Wow $5800 !!!

Thanks - I snagged the #139...but with a couple other purchases last night I couldn't push any harder on the #106, so I was the underbidder on that one.

There were some nice Flash books in that auction - hard to ignore!

that's a fantastic purchase! so hard to find.

No problem. Too bad you couldn't get both. Flash #106 is extremely HTF in high grade. It took me several years to finally snag my copy.

Flash #139 is a very underrated key, but with results like this collectors are truly noticing it's significance and the bitter rivalry between the Flash & Professor Zoom.

Yeah, I was in a number of the Flash auctions which were all going extended time and I had just secured the #105. That meant I was only going to go after either the #106 or the #139. I realize that #106 was a very favorable grade, but I just wanted the #139 more.

Hopefully, somewhere down the line I can secure a HG copy of #106 as well. When you have a strong auction with many desirable issues, it can be very tough to get them all!

Cool, you got a Flash #105 too! What grade was that copy? I have ~4 more issues to complete my Flash key villains run personally.

I like both of them #106 & #139 very much, but since #106 has the origin and 1st appearances of both Gorilla Grodd & the Pied Piper I had to have it. As you may know almost all the early SA Flash books are very scarce/rare in high grade compared to most Marvel keys.

You still think 139 is underrated, I love the tv show flash and I think Tom cavs naught did a fantastic job playing reverse flash in season 1, but I know the book had a huge price spike. I bought my 139 4.0 and sold it to upgrade to a 7.5/8.5 but looks like that's out of my range now. Still eye balling that 8.0 on eBay now though

The #105 was a 7.5 - probably all I could afford right now, given the other purchases I managed.

Did you get the #106 from this auction or from before?

Are you sure there are lots of Marvel keys out there? I just looked at my collection and I didn't see any!

Yeah I do, especially when compared to other SA DC keys. Unless you have a 9.0 & up copy, I feel Flash #139 is grossly undervalued. I feel prices such as the recent CC sale will become more prevalent for this book and all Flash keys as we get closer to the movie release. That is if more of them hit the market.

I obtained my #106 through a private sale earlier this year.

Compared to DC keys, there are an abundance of Marvel keys.
