The Flash #269

The cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano sets a wonderfully wild prehistoric scene: the Flash and Kid Flash are surrounded by weapon-wielding dinosaurs — a large green carnivore looming up close, a pterosaur swooping overhead, and volcanic peaks erupting in the distance — while both speedsters visibly grapple with the alarming question of just how these creatures got so smart. The cover banner promises a book-length adventure as Flash and Kid Flash journey 70 million years into Earth's past in "Domain of the Dark-Eyed Dragons!" This January 1979 issue delivers double the speed-force fun, pairing DC's two fastest heroes against one of the most entertainingly bizarre threats either has ever faced.
