Visited the LCS today to check out their box of new arrivals. I'm guessing these two books hadn't been in the store for very long.

Wow! Nice pick ups there!! Love that 153, definitely in my top 10 of SA Flash covers....the 154 not so much, still I love 154. My son gave me a copy years ago for my birthday. One of the few times someone actually gave me a birthday present I was thrilled about!

Twice they had a story so good they tweaked it and repeated. 147 & 153, and 155 & 174. All four are classics.

I think it was Joe Simon who said "in comics if you come up with a great idea its ok to use it about 8 more times." :takeit::roflmao:

Also a 9.2 105 going off in a day. Be interesting to see where they land.

Its funny to think about, these 2 books are comparably our Hulk #1 and #2. in the Marvel world. Lets say, for example Showcase #4 is DC's AF15 and FF#1 DC's BB#28. 

You gotta love being a DC/Flash fan! :cloud9:

As pricey as that 106 in 7.5 seems...its almost affordable compared to a Hulk #2 in the same condition. :)

105 is the highest second appearance of any DC SA character, but 106 is after SC8-14 and some years on par with 110 and 123. A 8.0 123 is on Comic Link soon. Interesting to see how these all compare. 

It's interesting that without DC's foray into revamping the superheroes like they did in the late 50's and early 60's, Stan (who was about to leave comics altogether) and Jack may never have been inspired themselves to re-invent the (superhero) mousetrap so to speak which led to the amazing success of Marvel in the 60's and onward. It's funny how the confluence of certain events causes history to play out the way it does.
