The Flash (1987) #197, page 22. First Appearance of Zoom

“I fit the profile.”

Drawn by Scott Kolins with inks from Doug Hazlewood. This is from the Blitz story arc on Geoff Johns’ run on the Flash. Hunter Zolomon the Flash rogue profiler turned Wally’s Reverse Flash - Zoom. This is his first appearance.

One of my favorite villains, from one of my favorite runs in comics. I remember reading this issue returning to comics as an adult, and primarily my shock of the reveal of the Reverse Flash as seen here on this splash end page. I’m very lucky to even have a page from this story arc, but to have this one, is something I won’t ever take for granted. This is one of those pages that I personally didn’t think I’d ever be able to get, a grail page for sure. I still can’t believe it



Many thanks to Brian for this one.
