Showcase #4 (DC, 1956) CGC FN- 5.5 Off-white pages. Generally regarded as inaugurating the Silver Age of comics, Carmine Infantino's splendid cover woke comicdom from the funk cloud it had been under after Dr. Frederic Wertham and other censors successfully lobbied against so many themes and publishers in the early 1950s. Starting with this issue, the Showcase title became one of DC's designated "try-out" venues (the other was Brave and the Bold), where such other favorites as Challengers of the Unknown, Green Lantern, and the Atom made their Silver Age debut, before winning their own self-titled comics. And of course, this is the issue that introduced the Flash to a new generation of comic fans. Overstreet 2003 FN 6.0 value = $3,564. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
