DC Retroactive: Flash - The '70s #1
"Son of Grodd" kicks off DC Retroactive: Flash – The '70s with a time-twisting tale that pits the Flash against a desperate alien refugee from the 25th century, Iylar, who seeks to prevent an ancient war before it begins. Written by Martin Pasko and brought to life by José Luis García-López’s dynamic art, this issue explores the far-reaching consequences of altering history, with Superman playing a quiet but pivotal role in shaping Earth’s destiny. The cover by Benito Gallego and Sal Buscema captures the clash of timelines in bold, classic style.
In "Son of Grodd," a desperate Grodd manipulates Iris Allen into helping him create Darok, a human-gorilla hybrid meant to destroy the Flash. But as Darok grapples with the truth of his origins and the painful effects of his stolen speedster DNA, he finds unexpected loyalty in Iris—and begins to question everything he’s been taught.
In "Race to the End of Time!" from DC Retroactive: Flash - The '70s #1, Flash teams up with a secret ally from the 25th century—Superman—to stop Iylar, a Zelkot refugee trying to alter history and prevent an alien war that could destroy Earth. As they race across time, the two heroes must navigate conflicting destinies: one determined to preserve the timeline, the other to change it, all while keeping Earth safe from a threat that spans centuries.
