  • Wally West’s Journey: As the fiftieth issue of The Flash, Vol. 2, this comic deepens Wally’s evolution as the primary Flash, a journey that’s become a cherished arc in DC history—ideal for collectors of character-driven narratives and milestone editions.
  • Post-Crisis Milestone: Emerging from DC’s late 1980s reboot and transitioning into the early 1990s, #50 marks a significant benchmark in the series, appealing to fans of that pivotal period in comics.
  • Creative Consistency: William Messner-Loebs and Greg LaRocque bring a dynamic, accessible style to this milestone issue, offering a distinct tone from the earlier Mike Baron run, with broad appeal for completists.
  • Milestone Appeal: As the 50th issue, #50 stands out from non-key issues like #15 (Pied Piper’s reformation) or later milestones, making it a sleeper hit with growing potential as collectors target high-grade early Vol. 2 milestones.
Value Trends:
  • Low to Mid Grades (VG 4.0 - FN 6.0): Typically range from $5-$15, appealing to readers or budget collectors seeking milestone issues.
  • High Grades (VF 8.0 - NM 9.4): Fetch $20-$45+, with NM copies trending upward as condition and milestone status drive value for early 1990s 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. Milestone issues like #50 are gaining momentum, with high-grade copies showing steady appreciation in a late 1980s/early 1990s nostalgia-driven market.
  • Comparable Sales: Early Vol. 2 issues like #1 and milestone #50 in CGC 9.8 can hit $60-$80 at auction, while #50 holds steady at $35-$50 in NM raw condition due to its milestone appeal. Its value has strong growth potential tied to Wally’s enduring popularity.
