Flash #46

The cover of this January 1991 issue says it all — the Flash clashes head-on with Vixen, the two heroes locked in furious combat while the enormous, glowering visage of Gorilla Grodd looms over the burning city below, making it unmistakably clear who is pulling the strings. Greg LaRocque and José Marzán Jr. stage the confrontation with real kinetic energy, the Scarlet Speedster's lightning trail cutting across Grodd's hulking form in a way that crackles off the page. With William Messner-Loebs writing "The Day of the Beast," this is a superhero showdown with a genuinely menacing mastermind behind it.
