“La guerre froide de Central City”

In "La guerre froide de Central City," Heat Wave’s release from prison ignites a new wave of chaos in Central City, while Captain Cold, still behind bars, devises a dangerous scheme that unexpectedly draws in Barry Allen. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Irv Novick with inks by Dick Giordano and Frank McLaughlin, this 1979 Flash issue blends cold-blooded strategy with hot-headed action. The cover, a striking portrait by Nick Cardy, captures the tension between the two villains and the city they threaten.
