Flash Comics Vol 1 83

Flash Comics #83 is a comic book published by DC Comics in 1947.

After a long hyatus without damsels in distress as the comic book opted to have comical storylines, the series finally returned to superhero action and featured a bound damsel in one story.

Story
After James Handy is found guilty and executed despite swearing he was innocent, he promises to return from the death and kill the twelve jurors.

Once two of those are killed, Joan Williams and The Flash set out to investigate.

Both eventually discover the real killer, but he helds them at gunpoint and decides to murder them to keep his secret.

Joan Williams is taken inside an elevator and she is tied up with rope with her hands behind her back and her ankles together alongside The Flash.

The villian cuts the cable and lets them fall to their death, but using his superspeed Flash cuts his ropes and saves himself and Joan, taking her out of the elevator still tied up and releasing here once she is safe.
