"Conqueror from 8 Million B.C.!" - Archeologist John Haines accidentally releases Katmos, a metal being who had conquered the Earth 8 million years ago. Katmos uses his advanced technology to commit a rash of crimes and capture the Flash. Flash eventually escapes by vibrating out of the cage, and knocks out Katmos before he can respond.
"The Master of Mirrors!" - While in prison, Sam Scudder accidentally discovered mirrors that can retain a reflection indefinitely. He soon develops these mirrors so that they can cast three dimensional illusions, and uses some to take the appearance of a bank teller in order to rob a bank. Barry Allen is in line to use the tellers, and notices that the teller's hair is parted on the wrong side, and that his wedding ring is on the wrong hand. Suspecting foul play, he follows the Mirror Master in his guise into the Mirror Master's hideout, which is filled with illusory traps. Realizing that the traps are illusions, Flash navigates through the house and captures the Mirror Master.

Notes
CGC 5.5 Apparent
The Flash #105 (DC, 1959) CGC Apparent FN- 5.5 Extensive (P) Off-white to white pages. Following his successful stint in four "try-out" issues of Showcase, the Scarlet Speedster gets his own title, with numbering picking up where the Golden Age Flash Comics left off. In this first issue, the Fastest Man Alive (whose origin is recapped) encounters the Mirror Master, making his debut. Featuring art by fan-favorite Carmine Infantino, this would become one of the Silver Age's best-loved superhero comics. This copy has been very attractively restored; CGC notes, "Restoration includes: color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cover cleaned, reinforced." Overstreet 2004 GD 2.0 value = $415; VG 4.0 value = $830; FN 6.0 value = $1,245.
