The Flash #240
A mid-1970s DC gem, this March 1976 issue puts the Scarlet Speedster in genuine peril — the cover by Ernie Chan shows a desperate young woman reaching out with the urgent cry "I've got to find Flash before he's struck dead!" while the Flash himself looms large, visibly distressed against a city backdrop. The bold banner at the bottom — "Watch Out, Flash! You're on a Collision Course with Disaster!" — sets a tense, urgent tone that perfectly frames Cary Bates's story brought to life by artist Irv Novick and inker Tex Blaisdell. If you love your Silver Age DC with high stakes and dynamic cover art, this one delivers.
