“The Wrong Man!”

Dick Giordano's cover for The Flash #280 (December 1979) crackles with tension as the Scarlet Speedster skids to a stop, fists clenched, confronting a muscular man who clutches a startled young woman — while defiantly telling Flash to buzz off. The scene raises immediate questions about who's truly in the wrong, neatly teasing Cary Bates's story, "The Wrong Man!" The friction between Flash's instinct to intervene and the man's insistence that everything is fine makes this one of those covers that practically demands you open it up.
