The Flash #147
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Our Enemy, the Flash!", the Flash faces a twisted twist when reformed criminal Al Desmond is manipulated into committing crimes again—this time under the control of the sinister Reverse-Flash, who's using him to revive the power of the dreaded Zoom. Written by John Broome and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art and Joe Giella’s sharp inks, this 1964 classic sees the Scarlet Speedster unravel the mystery behind Desmond’s sudden return, tracing the sabotage to Zoom’s dark influence. The cover, penciled by Infantino and inked by Murphy Anderson, captures the tension of a hero confronting a foe who’s not quite what he seems.
In "Our Enemy, the Flash!", the Flash [Barry Allen] faces a familiar foe in a new guise when Mr. Element [Al Desmond] returns to crime — but something's off. With Iris West by his side, Barry quickly realizes the reformed villain isn't acting of his own will, leading him to uncover the sinister hand of the Reverse-Flash [Professor Zoom] pulling the strings. As Barry races to stop Zoom's plan, he must untangle loyalty, redemption, and the cost of power — all while a new figure, Rita (future Mrs. Desmond), steps into the shadows.
