The Flash #207

The cover by Neal Adams sets an urgent, deeply unsettling scene: the Flash is frozen mid-stride against a stark black background, desperate yet helpless as a massive blue nightmare creature — all fangs, claws, and blazing red eyes — looms over a woman lying unconscious at its feet. His thought balloons say it all: he knows that nightmare is going to destroy his wife, and he can't move from the spot to save her. This June 1971 issue also promises a bonus Kid Flash super-speed story, making it a satisfying double-feature from DC's "The Evil Sound of Music!" era.
