For Memorial Day

Remembering those in the United States armed forces who have lost their lives in service to our county this Memorial Day with this very emotional cover by Joe Kubert, featuring Sgt. Rock, mourning the loss of Easy Company, from Sgt. Rock #389 (June, 1984).

Remembering Artist Carmine Infantino

Remembering artist Carmine Infantino on his birthday (May 24, 1925 - April 24, 2013) with the end run of his covers for the Flash, covering the trial of the Flash.  

The Flash was on trial for murdering the Reverse Flash....and, as the powers that be at DC decided Barry's fate in the upcoming Crisis (to end the title), instead of starting a new story with the Flash, the trial just seemed to go on forever....

Flash #340 and #341 (December, 1984 and January, 1985)

.

Flash #342 and #343 (February and March, 1985)

.

Flash #344 and #345 (April and May, 1985)

.

Flash #346 and #347 (June and July, 1985)

.

Flash #348 and #349 (August and September, 198)

.

....though Flash was found guilty, he was later cleared, dealt with the end of his title, and then ran headlong into the Crisis on Infinite Earths....
