“Le secret de Sinestro”

In "Le secret de Sinestro," Flash wakes up in a hospital to a reality where he never gained his powers—instead, he's a broken man, scarred by a lightning strike that destroyed a cabinet of chemicals. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Carmine Infantino with inks by Bob Smith and colors by Carl Gafford, this 1984 issue presents a haunting alternate version of the hero’s origin. The cover by Ernie Chan and Frank Giacoia captures the eerie stillness of a life rewritten.
