| Crisis on Infinite Earths #8 |
Without a doubt one of the hottest comic books gracing the
stacks of your local comic book stores is the Rebirth: Flash series. Whether it
is the Wally West or Barry Allen Version of the famed character, all the books
are pretty consistent sellers. This is one character that did not always sell
well, but recent events have helped to change all of that.
The CW Television series has brought new life to The Flash.
The New 52 series remains popular with fans, and the Flash Rebirth One-Shot
remains one of the hottest comics around. The series sells well, but like many
collectors know already, Flash actually did die once. And the funny part about
comic books being comic books is that DC Comics actually kept the character
under wraps for a few years.
The death of the Barry Allen Flash takes place in Crisis on
Infinite Earths #8 with some great cover art by the legendary George Perez. The
book has become one of the most valuable issues of the limited series with a
value of $25 according to Comic Book Realm. Lower than Near Mint copies can
still fetch $10 to $15.
The cover itself is a nice little piece of art, which is a
fact that only helps its collectible value in the long run. In the short run,
the title has spiked over recent years. Granted it doesn’t hurt that the book
was printed in 1985, which makes it about three decades old. That kind of
scarcity married to demand almost always yields higher prices, which means
Crisis on Infinite Earths #8 has all the ingredients to really make a serious
impact in the coming years.
So come for the great cover and reasonable price, and stay
for the long term investment potential. Either way, the death of the Flash is a
great issue to add to any collection.
