Flash Annual #5

Part of DC's 1992 "Eclipso: The Darkness Within" crossover event, this annual pits the Scarlet Speedster against something far more unsettling than a typical rogue. The cover by Travis Charest and Dan Davis delivers a striking composition: the Flash charges forward in his red costume, a burst of speed energy at his back, while a dark, shadowy Eclipso-possessed figure with wild blonde hair and menacing claws looms ominously overhead. With Mark Waid and Craig Boldman on the story, this is a compelling entry in a line-wide summer event that tested DC's heroes against the corrupting power of darkness itself.
