The Flash #211
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.
When the Flash [Jay Garrick] is trapped and stripped of his speed by the toxic fumes of hard water gas, a masked rival emerges—claiming the mantle of the Scarlet Speedster with a criminal edge. As the city reels from the sudden shift, Joan Williams finds herself caught between the original hero and the dangerous imposter, unsure who to trust.
