Dr. Alchemy looms large and menacing on this July 1990 cover, his grinning face filling the background as his enormous hands cradle a glowing golden disc — and trapped within that disc is a helpless, struggling Flash. Cover pencils by Greg LaRocque and inks by José Marzán Jr. deliver a genuinely unsettling sense of scale, making the Scarlet Speedster look utterly powerless against his elemental tormentor. With the story titled "Philosopher's Stone," this issue promises a clash between the Fastest Man Alive and one of his more underrated adversaries.
