The Flash #163
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Flash Stakes His Life -- On -- You!", the Flash faces his most personal challenge yet when inventor Ben Haddon unleashes a device that erases Central City’s memory of him—leaving only a homeless girl, the one he helped that day, to remember. Written by John Broome and brought to life by Carmine Infantino’s dynamic art and Joe Giella’s sharp inks, this 1966 classic explores identity, trust, and the quiet impact of heroism. The cover by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella captures the moment’s intensity with striking precision.
When Ben Haddon’s device erases Central City’s memory of the Flash—except for one girl who once received his help—the speedster must rely on Iris West and a mysterious housekeeper’s clues to prove he’s still real. With the city’s trust fading and a villain’s scheme unfolding, Flash races against time to save more than just his reputation.
When a 64th Century Policeman arrives in the present to reclaim Abra Kadabra, Flash is caught in a web of time-traveling secrets—especially when the magician’s origins reveal a truth that could expose the Flash’s own identity.
