The Flash #218
In "The Flash of 1000 Faces," a 1972 DC comic with a 20-cent cover price, the Flash confronts a mystery that blurs identity and illusion, set against a backdrop of personal transformation and hidden pasts. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated with striking detail by Neal Adams, with inks by Dick Giordano, the story unfolds with a tense, grounded pulse. The cover, a striking portrait by Nick Cardy, captures the issue’s central theme of duality and disguise.
When a bomb threatens to destroy Green Arrow’s building, Green Lantern races to contain the disaster, joined by Black Canary as she searches for answers. Meanwhile, Green Arrow has vanished into a monastery, leaving behind his past. Black Canary’s quest leads her to confront the remnants of a racist cult she once belonged to, now led by Sister Joshua—only to be attacked and nearly killed before Green Lantern arrives just in time to save her.
