The Flash #209
In "Beyond the Speed of Life!", The Flash is mysteriously pulled into another plane of existence to confront the Devourer, leaving his body behind and sparking panic among his allies. With Trickster and Captain Boomerang believing they’ve caused his apparent demise, the stakes rise as the speedster’s fate hangs in the balance—far beyond the speed of life itself. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by Dick Giordano and letters by Ray Holloway, this 1971 classic features a cover by Dick Giordano.
In "Beyond the Speed of Life!", Barry Allen finds himself ripped from his body and hurled into a surreal realm where he must confront the Devourer, a mysterious and terrifying force threatening to consume all existence. Left behind, Iris struggles to make sense of his disappearance as Trickster and Captain Boomerang, believing they’ve caused his apparent death, grapple with guilt and the sudden void left by the Flash’s absence.
