GA Flash OA

[Sardo Numspar]

Hi all - a friend gave this original Flash GA art to me yesterday (off his wall in his office). Unfortuneately, the issue/page number info is missing from the top.

 

It appears to be the last page of an issue dealing with a villain called the Fiddler.

 

If you know what issue this may be from the help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

You have to redo the picture:) it's not showing...but that is exciting...what a wonderful gift:)

Whoops, now it's showing:)

Looks like All Flash #32, or Flash #93, but I don't have either one to check.

Sweet page.

What size is the art?

 

I'm wondering if this might be Silver or Bronze Age art. I'm not too well up on the DC stuff; did they do new stories about GA characters?

 

The scan is a little hazy, but it looks like someone is saying "Groovy" in a bottom panel. That's not an expression I would have associated with the pre-1960s.

I agree with Mister T. The layout also seems way more modern than a GA book would have.

It's a Bronze page from Flash #201

Thanks you!! It is amazing that you guys can track this stuff down.

Nice, Anderson pencils and inks makes a fine gift indeed.

I think I got it for the right price - all I had to do was climb on a couch, take it off the wall, and put up another one of his OA pieces for him. Pretty good deal I would say.

Nothing wrong with a Murphy Anderson!!!

 

One thing that DC did on a few occasions in the 70s was take an unpublished story from the GA and ask one of their modern artists to re-draw it because they didn't feel the original art would be well-received. I don't know if that's the case with your piece, but it could be why your friend thought it was Golden Age.

And where does your friend live? Heck, I can bring my own level and hammer to help put up more art
