Description

What a bolt from the blue these Flash back-ups were. Giffen was doing something unlike anyone else in comics. Many thanks to the owner of my (then brand new) LCS, David Tomasini for not so gently talking my 15-year-old self out of my fealty for Giffen's Kirby phase and into appreciating this era of daring drawing. A really formative run for me. God bless those DC back-ups.

Gorgeous page from a fantastic run. Wish we had seen Pasko/Giffen/Mahlsetdt on a monthly Dr. Fate book.

Sweet example, these backups were the reason to buy those Flash books!
