- Title: The Flash #282
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Cary Bates
- Artist: Don Heck
Throwback Tuesday takes back to late 1979 to one of the first comics I ever owned featuring not one but two of my favorite comic heroes of all time. Set after the events of Iris West-Allen‘s death, The Flash #282 opens with the Flash escaping a death trap from the Reverse-Flash before sending the Scarlet Speedster on a wild goose chase in the future so his arch-nemesis can impersonate the Flash for his own purposes.
There’s quite a bit of plot packed into a single comic that also delivers multiple appearances by Green Lantern who runs into the Flash and then later the Reverse-Flash impersonating his best-friend (explaining the memorable cover of the comic). We also get the Cosmic Treadmill and time-travel, the cool death trap, and some fun art by Don Heck.
