“Le défi du bandit dessiné”

In "Le défi du bandit dessiné," Barry Allen contemplates the life of the Flash without his mask, reflecting on the legacy of the Golden Age Flash as he reads an old issue of Flash Comics. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Carmine Infantino with inks by Joe Giella, this 1981 story offers a rare, introspective moment for the Scarlet Speedster. The cover by Rich Buckler and Frank Springer captures the issue’s playful yet thoughtful tone.
