Item Identification

Quick! Blink and you might miss it!

Up for grabs is a Copper Age classic: The Flash 58 published by DC Comics. While it hit shelves in late 1991, this book proudly bears the official January 1992 cover date! Written by William Messner-Loebs with art by Greg LaRocque, this issue is a major key for deep-lore collectors as it marks the very first appearances of Centigrade, Fahrenheit, Flicker, Gunner, and Warmth!

Lore Transmission

This artifact highlights the evolution of The Flash (Wally West). In a surprisingly grounded and poignant storyline, the Pied Piper forces Wally to confront Keystone City's growing homeless problem. The experience serves as a massive turning point for Wally, inspiring him to start a charitable foundation in the name of his beloved uncle and predecessor, Barry Allen.

Temporal Bonus: The back cover features a fiercely nostalgic advertisement for the L.A. Guns album "Hollywood Vampires"!

Condition Analysis

Raw Grade: FN/VF (Fine+ to Very Fine- 6.5 - 7.0)

Overall Impression: This is a solid, mid-grade reading copy. While it maintains good color and lies flat, it exhibits clear signs of standard handling and reading wear, primarily along the spine and corners.

Front Cover Analysis: The surface gloss is decent, but the accumulation of edge wear reduces overall crispness. The spine shows significant wear with at least 7 to 8 distinct, color-breaking stress lines (ticks) running down the left edge. All four corners show wear: the left spine corners are distinctly blunted with minor color loss, while the right corners are soft and have lost their sharp points. The top edge also exhibits minor indentations and slight roughness.

Back Cover Analysis: The predominantly black L.A. Guns advertisement is unforgiving and highlights the wear. There is noticeable color rub and light scuffing across the black surface. All four corners on the back show blunting and white color breaks. The top and bottom edges exhibit slight wear and micro-chipping where the black ink has worn off.

Summary Grade: Due to the sheer number of color-breaking spine ticks and the prominent corner/edge wear visible on the black back cover, this comic falls squarely into the mid-grade range of Fine+ (6.5) to Very Fine- (7.0). It is structurally sound and complete, but the handling wear keeps it out of the higher tiers. All comics come bagged and boarded.
