The Flash #121

From 1961, this issue of DC's The Flash pits the Scarlet Speedster against one of his most colorful adversaries in "The Trickster Strikes Back!" The cover by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella captures the action vividly: a boldly costumed, blond Trickster strides forward in his striking blue-and-orange striped outfit, trailing what appears to be an electrified wire that crackles with energy, while the Flash races in hot pursuit along a busy roadway lined with period automobiles. It's a wonderfully dynamic composition that showcases Infantino's clean, kinetic storytelling style at its Silver Age best.
