The Flash #228

Something has the Scarlet Speedster completely at someone else's mercy in this August 1974 issue — Nick Cardy's cover shows a horrified Flash being yanked back by a mysterious, unseen force while a costumed thief makes off with a bag of scattered cash in the background. The bold cover teaser asks "Who is the Mystery Man That Controls Every Move of the Flash's Life?", promising a tense, puzzle-driven story from the creative team of Denny O'Neil and Dick Dillin. As a bonus, Green Lantern also gets a solo spotlight inside, making this a genuinely satisfying double-feature for any DC fan of the Bronze Age.
