Why this issue matters

From the editorial file The death of Supergirl, late 1985, behind one of the most imitated covers in comics. The emotional center of the maxiseries that collapsed the multiverse Flash #123 had created.

Reading the story costs a fraction of owning the issue. Both routes are on every file.

Before you buy

  • Confirm the UPC box: a publisher mark instead of a barcode means direct edition, a barcode means newsstand.
  • Glossy covers of this era show edge chipping easily. Check black edges closely in the photos.
  • Check the staples and centerfold; heavily read anniversary and key issues loosen there first.
