“Terminal Velocity, Mach Three: The Other Side of Light”

Part of the "Terminal Velocity" arc, this January 1995 chapter sends three speedsters — the Flash, a female speedster in red and gold, and a helmeted figure in a classic red-and-yellow costume — hurtling forward in a desperate "Race Against Time!" while an ominous, looming face watches from above. Mike Wieringo and José Marzán Jr. deliver a cover that crackles with forward momentum, the diagonal composition pulling every eye straight into the action. Mark Waid, Salvador Larroca, and Marzán Jr. are on interior duties, making this a strong creative lineup for one of the mid-'90s most propulsive Flash storylines.
