Flash Annual #1
In *Flash Annual #1* (1963), the Flash and Dr. Flura are found unconscious in the streets—only to be revealed as trapped in suspended animation. When Star Sapphire appears in a dreamlike vision, she challenges the Flash to a deadly race against time: defeat her in two minutes, or both he and the Earth will fall. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Lee Elias, with inks by Moe Worthman and lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this 25-cent annual delivers a pulse-pounding, mind-bending showdown. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Carmine Infantino, Joe Kubert, Lee Elias, Joe Giella, and Frank Giacoia, captures the clash in vivid, timeless style.
