I love the way the poster echoes the classic cover of the first Superman/Flash race back in Superman #199 (via comics.org):
Neal Adams/Frank Miller Variant Cover for Flash #49
This week’s Flash #49 has a variant cover by Neal Adams and Frank Miller, inspired by Adams’ cover for Superman #317. The 13th Dimension interviews Neal Adams about the cover process and working with Miller, and shows different stages of the art process.
Flash (New) 52 Variant
The remaining series from the New 52 launch are coming up on issue #52, and DC Comics is celebrating with a set of variant covers homaging the #1 issues from the launch. Here’s Jesus Merino’s tribute to Francis Manapul & Brian Buccellato’s cover to Flash #1:
Flash #51 Variant Cover by John Romita, Jr.
DC has revealed its variant cover theme for April 2016: the DCU drawn by John Romita, Jr. While he’s done Superman and Batman recently, the legendary artist is best known for his work at Marvel, so bringing him over to DC for a whole month of covers is an event in itself!
Flash also appears on the Justice League and JLA covers, and you can see all of them at the linked gallery on DC’s blog.
