Owner's Description
Issue #110 is a min-key, in that it introduces the world to Kid Flash, who will also become a founding member of the Teen Titans. As such, it is probably the fourth most valuable issue after Showcase #4, Flash #105 and Flash #123. It also features the first appearance of the Weather Wizard.
In “Meet Kid Flash”, Iris brings her nephew Wally to visit Barry. As soon as Barry learns Wally is a big fan of the Flash, he decides to introduce him. Left alone with the lad, Barry changes into the Flash and visits with young Wally. As the Flash is explaining how he got his powers, a lightning bolt bursts through the window and strikes chemicals on the cabinet, which land on Wally just as they did for the Flash two years prior, and much to their surprise, Wally has gained speed powers as well. Creating another Flash costume for Wally, Wally becomes Flash's sidekick Kid Flash. OK, it’s not the most original origin, but just go with it......
Th either story, “the Challenge of the Weather Wizard”, Flash tangles with Mark Mardon, a two-bit criminal who had a little bit of luck, who stumbled upon a scientific device, a wand that could localize weather, creating hail, lightning, and other destructive forms of weather. He used the wand countless times against the Flash as Weather Wizard, a member of the Rogues Gallery.
This copy is the highest graded and one of just four 9.2s. We have owned three of the 9.2s during our collecting career and this is the nicest.
This copy was acquired from Pedigree Comics in April 2018, in a negotiated transaction of which we also acquired a Flash #114 9.4 and a Flash #132 9.8, which at the times was single highest graded. We also swapped one of our two copies of Flash #110 9.2 as part of the transaction, as well as selling the third one.
