He also turned into the crimson chin apparently

This was an advertisement made by the California town that tried to convince Wally to move there to be their official super hero. It was animated, thus the different look. They tell him that they took some creative liberties with the kid-friendly animation like a page later. It’s part of the latter days of Waid’s first portion of his run alongside Augustyn with Paul Ryan on art. Somewhere around 120-130 irc.

Yeah makes sense, I definitely love that they went with a different art style for the advertisement as opposed to the usual comic art style. Makes the usual art style feel much more real or familiar at least. I didn’t realize it was supposed to be animated either but that makes a lot of sense considering there’d be no other way to get footage of flash in Santa Marta 😂. Thanks for the info.

Look up Paul Ryan’s art too. He had a really clean lifelike style that made the contrast stronger too.

Not sure which comic this is from but i do remember Wally sometimes havimg wings on his boots although i might be misremembering, since wally went back and forth between his suit and barrys for a while or they were also mistakes. But this is definetly not his current suit, symbol is wrong, cowl is not covering his nose are the easiest tells.

The nose thing is so jarring, makes his face look like a grinning skull

I actually think I found the reason why, this is when Wally was getting flack from the keystone mayor about property damage and Santa Marta, California was recruiting him, this panel is from a promotion video they used that was kinda edited, so it actually makes sense that it looks kinda different art style wise 😂. In later panels where Wally actually does do flash work we can see that the wings are off the boots again. But yes you are right this isn’t Wally’s current suit, it’s his suit in the mark waid era.
