The Flash #189

This June 1969 issue of The Flash opens with a gripping cover by Joe Kubert: an angry civilian in a sport coat thrusts the scarlet Flash uniform toward a wide-eyed Kid Flash, shouting "Take it, Kid Flash! I never want to see this uniform again!" — while a small, stoic Flash looks on in the background. The raw emotion of that confrontation promises real dramatic stakes beneath the title "The Fastest Man Alive." With John Broome writing and Ross Andru and Mike Esposito on interior art, this is Silver Age DC storytelling firing on all cylinders.
