The Flash #118

This February 1961 issue of The Flash pulls you straight into the action with a cover by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella that sets up a genuinely intriguing puzzle: the Scarecrow stands arms outstretched against a bold yellow sun while the Flash races urgently toward him, his dialogue balloon declaring he must stop a bullet to solve a baffling mystery. A helicopter hovers ominously overhead, its occupants seemingly responsible for the threat, making the whole scene feel tense and alive. Topping it all off, the issue also promises a new Elongated Man story — solid value for a single dime.
