“Bless the Beasts”

★ 1st appearance — Linda Park

In "Bless the Beasts," Wally West finds himself mistaken for a monstrous Porcupine Man, forcing him to defend his name while Captain Cold and Golden Glider—unexpectedly playing hero—try to stop what they believe is a threat. Written by William Messner-Loebs and illustrated with striking detail by Greg LaRocque, this 1989 Flash issue blends suspense and identity confusion in a story that stands out for its eerie tone and sharp character dynamics. The cover, by Greg LaRocque and Larry Mahlstedt, captures the moment perfectly.
