Owner's Description

Don & Maggie Thompson Collection. Capt. Cold & Heat Wave! For some reason I have always loved this cover, even though the idea of the Flash on crutches & in a cast is rather far fetched; plus the thing is clobbered up with word balloons...but, when I look at it I can see why I love it so much. The bright green background and distant cityscape on the right takes up slightly more than half the page - so even though the cover is split - it isn't split down the middle. Plus the brick wall on the left (and portions of the masthead) have some of that great DC pink to highlight them. Not so much as to upset the composition - but enough to make the brick wall interesting. Finally - the poses of the overlapped Capt. Cold & Heat Wave - what great poses with their pistols and their light colored costumes in front of the mostly black brick wall. I think it is the two of them that really sell this cover image for me. I know I would have happily parted with my twelve cents for this wonderful cover.
