“The Gantlet of Super-Villains!”

In "The Gantlet of Super-Villains!", Flash faces an all-new kind of threat when Gorilla Grodd hijacks the body of a zoo gorilla and unleashes a wave of Barry Allen’s greatest enemies in a twisted bid to seize his mind. Written by John Broome and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella, this 1972 classic pits the Fastest Man Alive against a relentless parade of foes in a battle that tests his will as much as his speed. The cover, a striking portrait by Nick Cardy, captures the intensity of the moment.
