Most Expensive Flash Comic Books
With roots in the Golden Age, Flash has been one of the founding fathers of the costumed superhero genre.
He appears in many of the most important comics of the last 70 years.
His reappearance in Showcase #4 relaunched superheroes and began the Silver Age of comics.
Flash has appeared in multiple movies and TV shows.
There are lots of Flash comics which aren't worth much. But plenty of them are, including the comics which feature the first appearance of Flash villains.
