☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Around the World in 80 Minutes!", Grodd’s apparent demise in Gorilla City is just a cover for a far more insidious plan—his mind now inhabiting the body of human William Dawson. Using his new guise, Dawson engineers a weapon that forces The Flash to absorb moisture from the air, rapidly swelling him to an impossible 1000 pounds.

The cover, penciled by Infantino and inked by Murphy Anderson, captures the moment of Flash’s transformation in bold, dramatic detail.
