The Flash #301

In "And the Beat Goes Off!", the Flash faces off against a mysterious criminal mastermind who's using four robotic doppelgängers to pull off a string of high-speed heists. With the help of a clever clue hidden in a Twinkie wrapper, the Fastest Man Alive races to outwit the villain before the city's next crime wave hits. Written by Bob Rozakis and brought to life by Curt Swan’s dynamic art, with inks by Vince Colletta and letters by Ben Oda, this 1981 classic captures the Flash at his most inventive. The cover, by Carmine Infantino and Bob Smith, perfectly captures the issue’s playful yet urgent tone.
