Value Highlights:
-
Wally West’s Ascent: As the thirteenth issue of The Flash, Vol. 2, this comic builds on Wally’s journey from Kid Flash to the main Flash, a transformation that’s become a fan-favorite arc in DC history—ideal for collectors of character milestones.
-
Post-Crisis Roots: Emerging from DC’s 1980s reboot, #13 captures the bold, reimagined spirit of the era, resonating with fans of that pivotal period in comics.
-
Creative Signature: Mike Baron and Jackson Guice lend a gritty, distinctive tone to these early issues, setting them apart from later runs and adding unique appeal for completists.
-
Sleeper Appeal: Often overshadowed by #1 or later keys, #13 is an under-the-radar gem with growing potential as collectors hunt for 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 reignited interest in Vol. 2. Early issues are picking up steam, with high-grade copies showing steady gains in a 1980s nostalgia-driven market.
-
Comparable Sales: Early Vol. 2 issues like #1 and #13 in CGC 9.8 can hit $50-$70 at auction, while #13 holds a solid $30-$40 in NM raw condition. Its value has upside potential as Wally’s popularity grows.
