This is a tough book being a DC 80-page Giant with a black cover. We missed this book years ago at auction and were fortunate enough to get a second shot at it in 2019 when we purchased it from a good friend and fellow collector. It is single highest graded and hails from the a Rocky Mountain Collection, which becomes the predominant pedigree in the later parts of this Flash run.

Issue #39 is an 80-page DC Giant, which automatically makes it more collectible. This issue reprints stories from Brave and Bold #28, Brave and Bold #30 and JLA #5.
I previously owned the Pacific Coast 9.6 copy of this book, but when the opportunity arose to acquire the single highest graded copy, we purchased it from a personal friend and fellow collector in 2019.

Issue #48 is an 80-Page Giant and has thus always commands a premium over regular JLA issues. It contains reprints from Brave and Bold #29, JLA #2 and JLA #3. There are two 9.8s atop the census, the Pacific Coast copy and the Fantucchio copy, which we now own. The PC copy recently sold on Heritage for $9,000. While we might ideally prefer the PC Pedigree, the best of the Fantucchios have amazing inks, a characteristic that our copy shares. We acquired our book from a friend and fellow collector in a private transaction in May 2020.
