In this story, the Flash has flashed ahead in time to another era, in which the people don't trust him. They dissolve his suit and grow a new one for him "from a cell culture over a technological frame". Clearly, either these new people don't understand the mythology behind his winged hat, or the cell culture fabric won't make stand-up wings, because for the rest of this story he wears the new suit with its funny little stubs of wings. That insistence on realistic details in the midst of bizarre--but almost convincing--science was one of the hallmarks of Seth's drawing.

As I look at this page, another thing that strikes me is the constant shifting of scenes in a page with very little white space between the frames. I didn't notice it when I was looking at the page full size, but the continual scene changes give a feeling of motion, constant, jerky motion. So Seth didn't just draw him running, but he gave the whole page the feel of running, change, movement.
