Flash #14

A menacing, wild-eyed figure dominates this July 1988 cover, his hands gripping and literally tearing through the Flash's scarlet costume — the shredded red fabric and golden lightning bolt details make the threat feel viscerally personal. The bold "VANDALIZED!" banner above the title sets an ominous tone that perfectly complements the story inside, "Wipe Out." Cover artists Mike Collins and Larry Mahlstedt deliver a striking, close-up composition that puts a snarling villain front and center, making it clear that someone has the Scarlet Speedster squarely in their sights.
