Description:
Charge into the Speedster’s saga with The Flash, Vol. 2 #19, a high-velocity chapter from Wally West’s early tenure as the Scarlet Speedster! Released in December 1988, this issue rockets Wally through a dynamic blend of high-speed action and personal growth, reinforcing his role as the Flash in the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC Universe. William Messner-Loebs’ engaging script pairs with Greg LaRocque’s sleek, kinetic artwork to deliver a story that hums with excitement and character depth. With its bold cover and early-series significance, Flash, Vol. 2 #19 is a Bronze-to-Modern Age treasure for fans and collectors tracking Wally’s rise to greatness.
Value Highlights:
  • Wally West’s Journey: As the nineteenth issue of The Flash, Vol. 2, this comic deepens Wally’s evolution as the primary Flash, a journey that’s become a fan-favorite arc in DC history—ideal for collectors of character-driven stories.
  • Post-Crisis Legacy: Emerging from DC’s 1980s reboot, #19 captures the fresh, reimagined energy of the era, appealing to fans of that transformative period in comics.
  • Creative Strength: William Messner-Loebs and Greg LaRocque bring a dynamic, accessible style to the series, offering a distinct tone from the earlier Mike Baron run, with broad appeal for completists.
  • Sleeper Potential: Often overshadowed by key issues like #15 (Pied Piper’s reformation) or later milestones, #19 is an undervalued gem with growing potential as collectors seek 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 upward 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 gaining momentum, with high-grade copies showing steady appreciation in a 1980s nostalgia-driven market.
  • Comparable Sales: Early Vol. 2 issues like #1 and #19 in CGC 9.8 can hit $50-$70 at auction, while #19 holds steady at $30-$40 in NM raw condition. Its value has growth potential tied to Wally’s enduring popularity.
