Flash #8

In "Purple Haze," Flash is on a high-stakes mission in the Soviet Union when he’s overwhelmed by an unseen force and collapses. Rescued and taken to the Green Lantern Citadel, he joins a gathering of heroes who are being warned of a growing danger—the Manhunters. As he begins to piece together the truth, he’s stunned to learn that his father is not who he thought he was, and his connection to the Blue Trinity runs deeper than anyone expected. Written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Jackson Guice, with inks by Larry Mahlstedt, colors by Michele Wolfman, and letters by Steve Haynie, the issue’s cover by Butch Guice and Larry Mahlstedt captures the tension of a hero at his breaking point.
