The Fury of Firestorm #7
The Fury of Firestorm #7 (December 1982) marks the first appearance of Plastique, a major DC villain who would become a recurring antagonist in the DC Universe and later appear in CW's The Flash television series. This CGC 9.2 graded copy represents the newsstand edition variant, which had larger distribution numbers but lower survival rate than direct edition during the Bronze Age era. The issue features the story "Plastique Is Another Word for Fear!" by writer Gerry Conway and artist Pat Broderick, establishing Plastique's explosive powers and her connection to the Firestorm mythos. As a Bronze Age key issue from DC's early 1980s lineup, it captures the publisher's expansion of their superhero roster beyond the core Justice League characters.
