Just linking those two ideas together, often in a book set in the past, or a book that's flashbacks told through a framing story, (like "here's a story of one of my past adventures: I did this and this and this"), I will write the whole thing in past tense, and ignore the framing story, if nothing really happens in it. That's one of those context-based decisions you can only really make after reading the whole issue.

I think one-panel flashbacks aren't necessarily even worth mentioning. If it's a memory, it can be phrased like "he remembers X" or "his thoughts go back to X" and such. It's a flashback for us, but for the character, it's more just like remembering something.
