The Flash #136 (1963)

In The Flash #136 (1963), Mirror Master is looking to boost his reputation in the "Most Successful Criminal Poll" of the prison newspaper by committing some daring crimes after escaping from jail. Barry Allen, the Police Forensics Scientist and the Flash's alter ego, hears the news and decides to investigate the case. His girlfriend, Iris West, leads him to a self-help guru's office where he learns of Mirror Master's escape from prison. The Flash tracks down Mirror Master to his lair, where he has created mirror bodyguards to protect himself from the Flash. The Flash defeats Mirror Master and splits off duplicates to take down the bodyguards. Meanwhile, West has enrolled Allen in a self-help course, much to his annoyance. In the second part of the comic, a criminal called Rod Pagin is released on parole, and Allen comes across a note that he doesn't remember writing, instructing him to introduce himself to Pagin. Pagin knows that Allen is the Flash and agrees to keep his secret if he doesn't interfere with his criminal activities. The Flash still patrols and foils crimes, but Pagin targets jewelry stores to taunt him. The Flash finally catches him and returns him to jail. Pagin holds a press conference revealing The Flash's identity, but it backfires as Allen was seen on stage during the time The Flash caught Pagin, protecting his secret identity. This exciting and action-packed comic is a must-read for any comic book fan and collector.
