Omar beat me to posting Flash v.2 #154, but there's also Flash v.2 #144, with Cobalt Blue. Flash v.1 #318 fits the pattern as well, just without the "It's you!" word balloon. And then there's Flash v.1 #345, in which the Flash's lawyer prepares to unmask him in court.

Mr. Trumbull: how about this?

Watchmen could have used the idea to reveal Ozymandais, although I suppose there were clues throughout the series so it might have been anticlimactic.

Legion of Super-Heroes #279. Can’t find a good scan of it online, though.

There was a George Perez Legion of Super Heroes cover where they unmasked Reflecto. I remember that one as being pretty cool.

A good choice would have been Justice League of America #172

Especially considering that DC put the “villain” on the cover right there in plain sight.

So who did Spidey turn out to be? It seems like we knew his identity at one point but somehow just . . . forgot.

Next theme: Best Comic Book Deaths with the character returning? You have to identify who died and when they returned…or would that be a bit too much?

Spider Man #12! That’s one of the best… Dr. Octopus unmasking Spidey.

Name some other cool comic covers featuring the revelation of hidden identities!

“Cool” is kinda subjective, but I liked Supergirl 25.

Hm — I was trying to post a very link-heavy response, but I think it got swallowed. Any suggestions?

You didnâ€™t include 52 week 37?

Good eye!

There are so many good ones that picking just 10 would be hard for anyone. But if I might humbly suggest a few honorable mentions.... -- Flash v.2 #154 -- Justice League of America v.1 #77 -- Detective Comics #168 -- Flash v.1 #287 -- Amazing Spider-Man #180 -- New X-Men v.1 #146 And perhaps the greatest villain reveal of all time, though it didn't involve a mask: -- Animal Man #26

Are the characters on the West Coast Avengers shocked at the identity, or because they have a naked man flashing them? It kind of puts the “he stands revealed” into perspective.
