“The Tailor-Made Crimes of Central City!”

In "The Tailor-Made Crimes of Central City!", The Flash finds himself caught in a strange twist when the Mirror Master convinces Paul Gambi to craft a new costume—only for the Flash to start behaving in ways that feel entirely foreign. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Irv Novick with inks by Frank McLaughlin, this 1976 issue explores the unsettling effects of a costume that seems to influence more than just appearance. The cover, by Ernie Chan, captures the eerie tension of the moment.
