Ash #0 — Joe Quesada & Jimmy Palmiotti's Event Comics
The 1994 independent phenomenon that established Event Comics as a creative powerhouse, serving as the direct springboard to Joe Quesada becoming Marvel's Editor-in-Chief.
Home of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League.
The birth of superheroes. Superman, Batman, Captain America, and Wonder Woman debut. Comics became a mass medium.
Extreme scarcity drives value. Condition sensitivity is paramount — even low-grade copies of key issues command five figures.
Inspectable mathematical proof, blockchain/ledger provenance, data integrity validation, and asset taxonomy.
A pricing discrepancy between an auction listing and the prevailing cleared consensus value across organized exchanges, allowing rapid liquidity capture before market equilibrium reconverges.
Flash catches men stealing radium from a hospital, only to realize one of them's Jeb Young, a friend of Jay Garrick. Young had a terminal illness, but was offered a cure by a discredited scientist named Adam Addams who demanded a year of servitude in exchange for curing Young's condition. This included the theft of radium to carry on Addams' experiments. Addams, whose scientific discoveries including being able to alter a man's face into that of any other man, becomes the head of the hospital his men were robbing to get them out of lockup, by saying he won't press charges. The wicked scientist then announces his plan: to alter his men into the likeness of surgeons at the hospital to kill patients and get his revenge on the head of the hospital. The Flash intercepts them and prevents any deaths, also rescuing Addams' hostages, but the scientist escapes in a submarine.
Strict algorithmic segregation separating clean single-issue Cover A sales from multi-issue lot bundles, retailer exclusives, and foreign variants.
The Flash investigates the activities of a research scientist named Addams, who has a theory that the human face is shaped by glandular activities of the body. Addams plots to treat people with his special formula in order to make them look like prominent men who he plans to kidnap and replace with a phony.
Jay Garrick visits Western University for Homecoming and meets with Dr. Manning, the Professor Jay did experiments for when he suffered his accident with the "hard Water" gasses. He is shocked to learn that Dr. Addams has threatened Manning with death unless he divulges the "hard water" formula.
Butch gets a tip for a job that's "easy picking's" in a nearby town.
Addams successfully kidnaps Dr. Manning and forces him to work night and day on the "hard water" formula. Deciding to take the matter one step further, Addams invites Jay Garrick, Joan Williams, Dr. French and others to his lab in Arizona, then proceeds to kill them off...one by one.
The evil Addams creates a false Flash to kill the guests in his home, realizing that the real Flash will be blamed for the horrible deeds. However, the Scarlet Speedster disposes of his counterpart and takes his place in order to be in a position to capture Addams.
