Thanks! I'm glad you found the site interesting! And yes, I'd definitely appreciate it if you'd let me know of any issues of Flash Comics, All-Flash, or Comic Cavalcade you'd be willing to sell. The issues listed here are my high-priority list, but I'd like to fill in as much of each series as possible. I've got a more up-to-date list, including which ones I've tracked down so far, on the Golden-Age Accuracy page.

Hey,

I was very impressed with your site. I spend hours reading most of the information you have typed up. Learned a lot… who would have thought I would have learned so much about flash after only looking for info about “The Trickster” when watching a episode of Justice League Unlimited.

Anyways, to get to my point. My father has some old comic books and seemed to be a farily large fan of the Flash when he was a kid. I am willing to look through his comics and see if there are any that you have on your list. These comics are unfortunately not in the greatest condition (he had a very rare / early JLA worth near $2,000 in reasonable condition… unfortunately his was nearly half destroyed) anyways, if you are interested I can look in to it and see if there is anything there you need. He has been bothering me to sell his comics but I almost want to keep them for my self.

[...] The Golden-Age Flash hunt continues. I’m now up to three issues of All-Flash with an issue of Flash Comics on its way. So far I’ve discovered that the Turtle didn’t have a costume the first time he appeared. He was just a guy in a green suit who used slowness against a guy who was used to moving fast. Next up: the original Thorn. I’ve bid on a lot of eBay auctions, expecting to win only a fraction of them. Everywhere else I look online, people are selling collector-grade books at much higher prices. I just want to read the original stories, write down who appears, and scan the occasional panel that I’m going to clean up anyway. [...]
