Owner's Description
Issue #112 is significant, in that it introduces the Elongated Man, who will become a DC stalwart. In the story “The Mystery of the Elongated Man”, Flash is at risk of losing the Central City Man of the Year award by the arrival of a new costumed hero named the Elongated Man. The Elongated Man is really Ralph Dibny, who as a young boy was interested in the abilities of Indian Rubber Men and learned the secret to their stretching abilities: a rare tropical fruit extract which is found in Gingold Soda Water. Extracting some of this fruit extract, Ralph gained amazing stretching powers and took on the costumed identity.
When a series of thefts occur in the city, Flash gets involved in their search, pitting him in a fight against the Elongated Man when the Flash believes him to be the crook. However, after the fight, Elongated Man takes Flash to the hideout of the real crooks, clearing his name. The two become fast friends, and at the end of their first adventure together they are both named Man of the Year.
This copy is highest graded and one of only two 9.4s with only a single 9.2 in the census. Acquired from CL on 3/18/2010.
9/2019: This is now the single highest graded copy of this book. I am not sure what happened to the other 9.4? My guess is that it was pressed and was downgraded to a 9.2. Oh well, that is one of the risks of pressing books, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but I am happy with this one which to my knowledge has never been pressed.
2021 Update: Still King!
