The Flash #306

The Scarlet Speedster and the golden-helmeted Dr. Fate share center stage on this February 1982 cover, rendered by penciler Carmine Infantino and inker Bob Smith — the two heroes bursting through theatrical curtains above a crowd of onlookers, with the cover itself cheerfully announcing "two super-stars for the price of one." The stage-show framing, complete with marquee lights and a front-row audience below, gives the whole thing an entertainingly theatrical energy that suits a team-up perfectly. With Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn scripting and Infantino on interior art as well, this expanded-page issue of The Flash promises a lively pairing of DC's fastest man and one of its most mystical heroes.
