As it turns out, the Flash was right. The man removing his mask in the prologue to “Chain Lightning” wasn’t who Wally thought he was at first. But Cobalt Blue certainly looked like the classic Scarlet Speedster! (Flash v.2 #144, 1999).
Interestingly enough, the series returned to the cover concept less than a year later during the Dark Flash saga, reversing the lighting, the angle…and who was doing unmasking. (Flash v.2 #154, 1999)
(Thanks to comics.org for the covers!)
The more I look at that logo design for the Dark Flash saga, the more I want to see it again.
Loved the flying hotdogs logo XD
HATED Mhan’s artwork!!!
I found in this issue in particular some panels very hard to read.
