Owner's Description
Issue #108 again contains two stories, one of which is Part Three of the Grodd Trilogy, in which once again the Flash captures the super ape and returns him to captivity.
In the cover story, the “Speed Doom”, the Flash walks into a trap set by Kee Feleg, a being from the world of Mohru. Kee Felag bombarded the Flash's feet with radiation that makes him unable to stop running. Felag's plan was to speed up the treadmill faster and faster until the Flash destroyed himself.
The Flash freed himself by running so fast he overloaded the machine and escaped. The Flash finds that fulgurites are being stolen by beings who are running at super speed. Following them through a dimensional barrier, he finds himself in the world of Mohru, where he learns from the Mohruvian police that the criminals of that world have gained super speed from stealing objects that have been struck by lightning to gather residual energy from the lightning strike to gain super speed. The Flash then helps the Mohruvian police force capture the criminal speedsters before returning to his own dimension.
High grade copies of this issue are exceedingly rare, with this CGC graded 9.2 currently being the single highest graded issue. There were once actually two CGC 9.2s and we owned them both, but sold the lesser copy, which the owner submitted to CBCS and received a 9.4 under their inflated grading system. All I know is that, having owned them both, this is the nicest copy in existence as of 9/2019.
Purchased in February 2014 CL auction.
2021 Update: And hits just keep on coming, as there is now another 9.2 in the census. We are only at Issue #108 and already two have gone down. Usually when a new high grade book emerges, you immediately see it in the market, but in the case of the new #106 and #108, I have seen neither so far.
