Description
This is something I've been wanting to try for a while - a straight recreation (as opposed to the mash-up cover recreations I've done in the past) of the cover of one of the comics that helped change me into a comic fan as a kid.In this case, Flash vol. 1 #275 - the death of Iris Allen, later found to have been murdered by the Reverse-Flash.
The original cover was created by Dick Giordano, copyright DC Comics.
Here is the original cover: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-b6LB6uW47t8…

Thank you - while the original design is of course not mine, I do try to recapture them in ink with the highest level of fidelity that I can.

They really knew how you capture your attention back then with a cover without any cleavage! Wonderfully done, Chris!

Thanks, Larry - but again, these cover recreations are really as close to the original as I can get - so it's really Dick Giordano's lines, for the most part.

Well even still, it's you doing it, you are the hand of Giordano here. Love the dedication to do it.
