The The Flash #123 in context
Why collectors care
"Flash of Two Worlds," cover-dated September 1961 -- the story that reintroduced the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick, established Earth-Two, and created the DC multiverse. Few single issues have had a larger structural effect on a shared universe.
How to identify it
The Flash #123, September 1961. The cover, showing two Flashes running toward a man in the path of a falling girder, is among the most recognizable in comics and is heavily homaged.
Common mistakes
Buying a later comic that homages the cover, or a facsimile edition. Confirm the 1961 issue and the 10-cent cover price.
Grade considerations
Early-60s DC with a bright cover that shows spine color-break clearly. High-grade copies are scarce and the premium above CGC 8 is substantial.
