Roter Blitz #10/1981
In "Roter Blitz fragt sich, ist Eismann ein Schurke oder Held?", Eismann takes up the mantle of heroism after falling for a top model, determined to do good—though Roter Blitz remains unconvinced. Meanwhile, Barry Allen’s life unravels as his parents die in a car crash, leaving his mother critically injured and his father harboring dangerous intentions. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Carmine Infantino with inks by Bob Smith and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1981 issue from Egmont Ehapa delivers a gripping, character-driven tale. The cover, penciled by Infantino and inked by Dick Giordano, captures the tension perfectly.
In a story that blurs the line between hero and villain, Roter Blitz questions whether Eismann’s sudden crusade against crime is truly noble—especially as his own past darkens with the tragic death of Barry Allen’s parents. While Eismann’s motives seem driven by love and redemption, the shadows of betrayal loom, and even the man who once seemed a hero may not be who he appears.
In "Der menschliche Taifun," the tension mounts as David Drake tests a nuclear-powered bathysphere, only to see the captain cut the tether in a moment of panic. Enraged, the Professor unleashes Firestorm, who rushes to save Drake—just as a catastrophic reaction between the reactor and seawater transforms the pilot into the unstoppable Typhoon.
In "null," David Drake pilots a nuclear-powered bathysphere during a high-stakes test, but when the ship’s captain severs the tether, the Professor’s fury ignites a sudden, unexpected response. As Firestorm rushes to save Drake, the reactor’s violent reaction with seawater transforms him into the enigmatic Typhoon—leaving the Professor to confront the consequences of a power he never intended to unleash.
