Suicide Squad #44

The cover of this 1990 DC series entry says it all with its bold "FLASH BACK!" proclamation — Captain Boomerang, wild-eyed and triumphant in his blue costume, stands over a downed Flash at what appears to be a public fair, boomerang raised overhead as startled onlookers scatter in the background. It's a gleefully audacious image, with Luke McDonnell's pencils and Geof Isherwood's inks delivering a villain's moment of gloating that practically leaps off the page. John Ostrander and David M. DeVries are on scripting duties for "Grave Matters," promising the kind of morally tangled storytelling that made this run one of DC's most compelling of its era.
