How the Flash Became Flush ManDid that kid just call The Flash by another name? "Flush Man"? What's that all about? The sequence you see here is from the latest issue of The Flash from DC Comics. And yes, the kid called him Flush Man. It's a reference to the 1990s, when The Flash was indeed Flush Man ...in Argentina. Names in popular stories, including comic book superheroes, are often changed a bit when published in other languages, often to avoid embarrassing connotations. Common product names are changed, too. But that wasn't the case this time; it was a matter of the name already being used for a magazine. The Argentinian tabloid Flash threatened to sue the comic publishers if they published the comic book as The Flash.

First Edition of The Incredible Hulk Comic with Grey Hulk Sells for $490,000Hulk smash sales!A rare copy of the first ever Incredible Hulk comic book has been sold for nearly half a million dollars. Published in 1962, the ‘Incredible Hulk #1’ comic chronicles scientist Bruce Banner’s accidental transformation into the angry green beast. But instead of the now-famous green, the first edition actually depicted him as having grey skin. Because the four-color printing process during that time caused the grey to appear differently on different pages, Marvel then had it changed to green beginning in the second issue.This particular copy is graded “very fine/near mint” on the comics grading scale. That means exceptionally good conditions in comics speak. With its historical value and rare quality, the issue was sold for $490,000 to a private collector. A gigantic number in itself, it still fell short to another Marvel superhero though. In September 2021, a 1962 edition of Spider-Man comic sold for $3.6 million. Talk about sky high!#Hulk #TheIncredibleHulk #GreyHulk #comicbook #comic
