In "Whom Gods Would Destroy!", the Flash faces a bizarre new threat: a criminal using clownish theatrics to terrorize Central City, forcing Barry Allen to balance his heroics with a growing concern over Professor Nephron’s controversial experiments aimed at rehabilitating prisoners through mind-altering techniques. Written by Cary Bates and brought to life by Irv Novick’s dynamic art, with inks by Frank McLaughlin and letters by Ben Oda, this 1980 issue delivers a tense, character-driven mystery. The cover, a striking piece by Jim Aparo, captures the clash of chaos and intellect that defines the story.
