The Flash #255

Outside a Central City Jewelry store, the Scarlet Speedster charges headlong toward Mirror Master — only for the villain's mirror-beam to redirect Flash right back the way he came, with the cover's speech balloons spelling out the taunt in real time. Rich Buckler and Jack Abel bring real kinetic energy to the confrontation, Flash's red costume a blur of motion against Mirror Master's cool yellow-and-green figure firing his weapon dead-on. It's a sharp slice of late-Bronze-Age DC storytelling from the creative team of Cary Bates, Irv Novick, and Frank McLaughlin, promising plenty of fast-moving fun inside.
