The Flash #208

The cover of The Flash #208 (August 1971) sets a genuinely striking, contemplative tone: inside what appears to be a grand cathedral, a robed figure kneels before a statue of St. Jude, pleading for a miracle, while the Scarlet Speedster bursts onto the scene in a blaze of speed lines, crying "Good God! What am I doing here?!" Neal Adams's cover art blends the spiritual and the superheroic in a way that feels fresh and unexpected for the era. As a bonus, the Elongated Man — his neck stretched dramatically across the top of the cover — promises a backup feature that adds even more DC flavor to this already intriguing package.
