After a 30+ yr absence from my comic collection, I am rediscovering some of the books that I really valued when I was collecting as a kid to young adult. I had to give away the majority of my collection a few years ago, but I did keep key issues, runs and comics that were meaningful to me. I am still in the process of moving them piecewise across the country. I was always a Neal Adams fan back then and now. I was also a big Flash fan when I was a kid, so this is one of my favorite covers. I think it is classic Adams in terms of composition -- seemingly infinite depth and inviting your eye to travel around the cover, from the pointed guns to Flash to the victim then the crowd, then finally to the buildings, traveling back to the guns. I love the colors -- the matching yellow and orange of the sky and the contrasting of the blue buildings and police uniforms. This comic isn't in the best condition -- hey, I was a kid! -- but it is a keeper, and made the cut! Ted
