The first Carmine Infantino art of the Flash character appeared in this issue's twelve page adventure, "The Secret City." Infantino had recently worked on the Injustice Society tale in All Star Comics #37 and before that on the Ghost Patrol and Johnny Thunder stories in Flash Comics, as well as on Johnny's replacement, Black Canary. However, it was Infantino's work on the Flash that would become the cornerstone of his career. Unfortunately, very little time remained for anyone to make an impacet on readers using the Jay Garrick version of the Flash. All-Flash would be cancelled with the following issue, and Flash Comics had less than 2 years left before giving up the ghost. In this issue however, Infantino showed a gift for character expression with his economic use of lines. In depicting a character with super speed, the artist developed methods for conveying blir and other tricks of visual shorthand. Infantino set himself up for a long career at DC, which would lead into his role in the Silver Age revival of the Flash.
