Moldoff art; The Whip coverThis issue's distinct Action #1-ish Whip cover is exciting and charming to this day, although the character has been lost to the ages, his thrilling first appearance still packs a punch. The anthology fare on display inside this book is typical of the times, and although the titular hero, Flash does not star on this cover, he is in the featured story "The Gambling Ship," as well as a Hawkman adventure further in the issue.
