The Flash #250

This milestone 250th issue of DC's long-running scarlet speedster series delivers a three-way showdown right on its cover, with the Flash caught between Captain Cold's freezing blast from below and a mysterious blonde woman on ice skates cracking a whip overhead — her inset portrait in the corner teasing her as "Flash's Newest Foe: The Golden Glider." The cover dialogue crackles with menace as the skater warns Cold she's saving the Flash for "a more terrible fate," making it clear the Scarlet Speedster is caught between two dangerous adversaries. Cover artists Rich Buckler and Jack Abel pack the image with kinetic energy, making issue #250 a genuinely exciting entry in the series' 1977 lineup.
