Item Identification

Quick! Blink and you might miss it!

Up for grabs is a solid mid-grade copy of The Flash 48 (1991), right from the heart of the Copper Age! This issue is a fantastic minor key, cleanly establishing the shared Post-Crisis origin of the timeline-spanning villain Vandal Savage and the Immortal Man.

Lore Transmission

While Wally West frantically searches Keystone City for his missing mother, the Immortal Man experiences brutal flashbacks revealing that both he and Vandal Savage gained their legendary immortality from the exact same prehistoric meteorite strike! An essential piece of DC mythology beautifully illustrated by Greg LaRocque during William Messner-Loebs' character-defining run.

Condition Analysis

Raw Grade: FN (Estimated 6.0)

Overall Impression: This is a solid mid-grade book. It retains good gloss and bright colors but exhibits noticeable handling wear upon close inspection.

Front Cover & Spine: Several color-breaking stress ticks are visible along the spine. The surface maintains strong visual appeal with only light rubbing.

Corners & Edges: Noticeable blunting affects all four corners, with the bottom-left and bottom-right showing the most significant softness and minor paper creasing. Minor chipping and handling wear are also present, particularly along the top and bottom borders.

Back Cover: Displays light surface rubbing and standard storage wear on the advertisement.

Summary Grade: Due to the accumulation of spine stress, corner blunting, and edge wear, this book firmly sits in the Fine (6.0) tier. All comics come bagged and boarded. To ensure 100% transparency, please rely entirely on the high-resolution photos provided as your ultimate source of truth.
