DescriptionA rare Nick Cardy Cover in my collection! A very classic and memorable image beautifully executed by the great Nick Cardy!Cool stories! "The Fastest Man Dead!" Police forensics scientist, Barry Allen, witnesses the assassination of Charlie Conwell, at the hands of the Maxel Mob. Allen attempts to intervene, as the Flash, but trips, thus failing to stop the lethal bullet. The Flash runs down the sniper, first eliminating his cover, then bringing him down to Earth. The sniper is turned over to the authorities, while Conwell is rushed to the hospital. Though Conwell is elected the new District Attorney of Central City, he dies that night. The assassin, too, dies that same night, having been paid in money laced with a powerful contact poison. The assassin's "ghost" accosts one of the members of the Maxel Mob, outside a local pool hall. The "ghost" reveals himself to be the Flash, who follows the thug back to Maxel. The Flash loses the upper hand when Maxel activates a hidden hyper-sonic siren. Maxel, and his men, wear special earplugs at all times, so as not to be affected whenever the siren is in use. While the Flash is incapacitated, Maxel's bodyguard, Barbie, beats him into unconsciousness. Maxel is about to murder the Flash, when a cloud of money begins floating around the room. Suddenly, the sprinkler systems activate, reviving the Flash. At the last second, the Flash vibrates his molecules into insubstantiality, allowing Maxel's bullet to pass harmlessly through him. Maxel hits the hyper-sonic siren again, taking himself, and all his followers out. Moving faster than the eye could see, the Flash removed all of their earplugs, while putting on a pair himself. With the Maxel Mob arrested, Conwell's murder has been avenged. At Conwell's gravesite, the Flash, as Allen, confides in his wife, PIcture News reporter, Iris West, that he felt Conwell was with him, the entire time he was bringing down the Maxel Mob. Unseen by the Allens, Conwell's ghost walks behind them, as they exit the cemetery. Social/Sharing |

It's interesting that Nick didn't draw the usual speed lines. Flash is more of a blur. Nice piece!!

Wonderful cover. The words on the cover make this one even more exciting than the art alone.

Cardy was such a great cover artist--don't think he was capable of designing a boring image!

Feels like a crossover between the Flash and the horror stories that Nick Cardy drawed so many covers of.
