The Fastest Man-apul Alive!
The Flash, 2011 Art by Francis Manapul Story by Brian Buccellato This run on The Flash is responsible for renewing my interest in comics after a long hiatus. I find the Francis Manapul version of Barry Allen to be among my most favourite depictions of The Flash. I found the many iterations of Wally West throughout the 90s and 00s to be too “Roided-Out!”, i.e. why does The Flash need bowling balls for biceps? Francis Manapul’s depiction of the flash is lean, mean, and full of speed, apparent from the first moment you lay eyes on issue #1! I’ve been chasing high grade copies of both the 1:25 and 1:200 variant covers since 2012. The #2 1:200 Sketch Variant was the first book I ever had graded by CGC. Since then I have made an effort to collect one of the most comprehensive and high grade runs of issues 1-10, including all variants. Collecting the 1:200 Sketch Variants has been quite the challenge. Issues 1 and 2 are pretty common, with 3 becoming more rare. However, 4 and beyond are rarely out in the wild, as so few retailers were ordering 200 copies by this point. Print Run and Variant Info, Issue #1-10:
