DC Comics Presents: The Flash #1
In "The Man Who Broke the Time Barrier!", the Flash confronts Mazdan, a criminal whose trial sentencing goes awry when he's sent careening through time—accidentally arriving in the 20th century instead of the distant future. Written by John Broome and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino, inks by Joe Kubert, and lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this issue blends classic Flash intrigue with a time-twisting twist. The cover by Andy Kubert and Joe Kubert captures the moment with bold, timeless flair.
