Sqeggs Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 This four-issue run featuring the first black hero (at least for a while -- he seems to become white in the later issues) is tough, although maybe not as tough as was thought at one time. gino2paulus2, mwotka, sagii and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The Harvey b&w giveaways are all tough. Flash Gordon 5 is the toughest, since it probably doesn't even exist, despite rumors over the years of people having seen a copy. You can't get any tougher than not existing! gino2paulus2, sagii and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
