Nobody did covers of extreme emotionalism better than Joe Kubert, and this FLASH cover is a good example. It’s drenched in melodrama, the huge word balloon dripping with pathos. Great use of color pulls your eye to the Flash uniform in Barry Allen’s hands, and silhouettes crybaby Kid Flash very nicely. And the drama of the moment almost demands that you open the book to see what could have caused this to happen.
The Tom Brevoort Experience 
Kubert was brilliant. One of the best comics artists ever.
