Description:
Accelerate your collection with The Flash, Vol. 2 #12, a high-octane chapter from Wally West’s early reign as the Scarlet Speedster! Released in May 1988, this issue propels Wally through a thrilling mix of speed-fueled action and personal stakes, anchoring his role as the Flash in the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC Universe. Mike Baron’s crisp, character-driven script teams with Jackson Guice’s sleek, dynamic pencils to deliver a story that buzzes with energy and depth. With its bold cover and early-series significance, Flash, Vol. 2 #12 is a Bronze-to-Modern Age must-have for fans and collectors chasing Wally’s foundational run.
Value Highlights:
  • Wally West’s Journey: As the twelfth issue of The Flash, Vol. 2, this comic builds on Wally’s transition from Kid Flash to the primary Flash, a journey that’s become a cherished arc in DC history—ideal for collectors of character milestones.
  • Post-Crisis Vibes: Emerging from DC’s 1980s reboot, #12 captures the fresh, reimagined spirit of the era, appealing to fans of that transformative period in comics.
  • Creative Distinction: Mike Baron and Jackson Guice bring a gritty, unique flair to these early issues, setting them apart from later runs and adding special appeal for completists.
  • Sleeper Status: Often overlooked next to #1 or later keys, #12 is an undervalued gem with rising potential as collectors target high-grade early Vol. 2 issues.
Value Trends:
  • Low to Mid Grades (VG 4.0 - FN 6.0): Typically range from $3-$10, great for readers or budget collectors.
  • High Grades (VF 8.0 - NM 9.4): Fetch $15-$35+, with NM copies trending higher as condition drives value for late 1980s comics.
  • Market Surge: Wally West’s starring role in modern DC (Infinite Frontier, 2021-present) and his media presence (CW’s The Flash, 2014-2023) have boosted Vol. 2’s profile. Early issues are picking up momentum, with high-grade copies showing steady gains in a 1980s nostalgia-fueled market.
  • Comparable Sales: Early Vol. 2 issues like #1 and #12 in CGC 9.8 can hit $50-$70 at auction, while #12 holds a solid $30-$40 in NM raw condition. Its value has growth potential as Wally’s fanbase grows.
