“Flashing Wheels!”

In "Flashing Wheels!", The Flash faces his greatest vulnerability yet when he's trapped and stripped of his speed by the strange by-product of hard water gasses. With his powers gone, a mysterious masked figure steps in—claiming The Flash's mantle, but with a criminal edge. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Carmine Infantino, with Bernard Sachs on inks and Steve Englehart handling colors, this 1971 classic features a bold twist on the hero's identity, all wrapped in a striking cover by Dick Giordano.
