Flash #141

The three-part "Black Flash" saga reaches its conclusion in this September 1998 issue, and Steve Lightle's cover sets the tension perfectly — the scarlet-clad Flash lunges upward while a dark, monstrous mirror image in black, bearing the same lightning-bolt emblem, claws toward him against a swirling violet sky. That eerie dark reflection of the Scarlet Speedster makes for a genuinely unsettling visual, two figures locked in a struggle that feels as much existential as physical. With Mark Millar writing and Pop Mhan and Joshua Hood on interiors, this final chapter promises a fitting payoff to one of the more haunting Flash stories of the late '90s.
