Flash #137

The second chapter of "The Human Race" arrives in this May 1998 installment, with a cover by Steve Lightle that crackles with kinetic energy — the Flash surges forward, lightning blazing from every limb, while a swirling spectral figure made of icy blue energy churns beneath him. Grant Morrison and Mark Millar's three-part story promises cosmic stakes, and the image of Earth looming in the starfield behind that striking title makes clear the whole planet is somehow part of the equation. Ron Wagner and John Nyberg handle the interior art, rounding out a creative team that gives this arc a real sense of urgency.
