The Flash #202

The Flash #202 (December 1970) presents one of the Scarlet Speedster's most emotionally charged cover images: the Flash reaches out in alarm toward a limp, red-haired woman suspended within a swirling vortex high above a cityscape, his word balloon crying "Oh, no! My wife — they killed her!" The cover pencils by Carmine Infantino and Dick Giordano, inked by Giordano, give the scene a haunting, dreamlike energy that makes this issue hard to put down. As a bonus, the cover also promises an all-new Kid Flash story, making this a particularly full package from DC's 1970 lineup.
