Robert Kanigher scripts start to take flight with the Flash, Hawkman, and the introduction of the Black Canary in the Johnny Thunder strip. The Flash cover and story "Stone Age Menace!" is drawn by Lee Elias and inked by Kubert.

The Black Canary’s dangerous beauty also brings to mind Lauren Becall from the Big Sleep, which was released several months earlier.

Try as hard as he could, the Thunderbolt knows that his bolts are soon to vanish forever.

Carmine Infantino makes his Flash Comics debut with the pen and pencils of The Ghost Patrol. His style of fluent action will become the industry standard for a whole new generation of artist to come.

Another excellent proto-SA villain in costume yarn.
