Up for grabs is a heavily loved reading copy of The Flash 59 (1992)! This is a fantastic, classic early 90s run-filler issue written by William Messner-Loebs with artwork by Greg LaRocque. It is an excellent budget-friendly artifact for timeline curators looking to plug holes in their collection!
Lore Transmission
William Messner-Loebs' character-defining run on Wally West continues in full force! This era of The Flash is beloved for successfully blending high-stakes superhero action with incredible, grounded character work as Wally navigates his personal life and his evolving rogues gallery in Keystone City.
Temporal Bonus: The back cover features a deeply nostalgic advertisement for the legendary arcade-port video game, SMASH TV!
Condition Analysis
Overall Impression: This is a structurally intact but noticeably worn reading copy. It is the perfect budget-friendly option to physically read or use to fill a gap in a long box.
Front Cover & Spine: The spine shows heavy handling wear with numerous prominent, color-breaking stress ticks running down the entire left edge.
Corners & Edges: The top-left corner has a significant defect (a heavy crease/small tear). The bottom-right features a distinct, diagonal color-breaking crease. All remaining corners exhibit standard blunting and color loss.
Back Cover: Displays general handling wear with heavy wear, minor chipping, and indentations along the top edge. The dark background of the Smash TV advertisement shows general surface rubbing.
Summary Grade: Due to the heavy spine wear and the specific corner creases/defects, this copy sits firmly in the Very Good (4.0) tier. All comics come securely bagged and boarded. To ensure 100% transparency, please rely entirely on the high-resolution photos provided as your ultimate source of truth before securing this artifact.
