“Riddle of the Runaway Comic”

In "Riddle of the Runaway Comic," The Flash faces a bizarre heist at a comic book convention when a special issue coated in a teleportation chemical becomes the target of criminals. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by Frank McLaughlin and colors by Gene D'Angelo, the story blends superhero action with a playful nod to fandom. The cover, by Al Milgrom and Dick Giordano, captures the chaos of the moment, all while The Flash outsmarts the thieves and shares a copy with his neighbor, Barney Sands.
