1959 The Flash #105 CGC NM 9.4

The first issue of the Silver Age Flash's own title and the first appearance of the Mirror Master, in an exceptional Near Mint 9.4.

Following his debut in Showcase #4 (Lot 7), Barry Allen received his own title with The Flash #105, dated February–March 1959. DC continued the numbering from Flash Comics, the 1940s series that had ended at #104 in February 1949, so the new hero picked up the title ten years after his predecessor’s last issue. The issue also gives the Mirror Master's origin.

The issue contains two stories, “Conqueror from 8 Million B.C.!” and “The Master of Mirrors!”, both by John Broome, with cover and art by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella. It was edited by Julius Schwartz, who had overseen the Flash’s return in Showcase.

The Mirror Master, Sam Scudder, went on to become one of the core members of the Rogues Gallery, the Flash's recurring group of villains.

Only four examples have achieved Near Mint 9.4 at CGC, and none have been graded higher, placing this copy among the finest known.
