The Flash #199
In "Flash? — Death Calling!", the Flash is plunged into suspended animation by accident, leaving the world mourning a hero presumed dead. Dr. Hollister steps into the spotlight, taking on the Flash identity to honor the legacy—though not everyone believes the new hero is the real deal. Written by Robert Kanigher and brought to life by Gil Kane’s dynamic art and Vince Colletta’s inks, this 1970 classic features a cover by Gil Kane that captures the mystery and urgency of a hero’s absence.
When Dr. Hollister accidentally traps Flash in suspended animation, the world mourns the loss of its fastest hero—only for the scientist to take on the Flash identity to preserve the legend. As the Justice League watches from the shadows, a young man named David Goodkind and a mysterious figure named Keech begin to unravel a secret tied to the man who’s wearing the red suit.
