The Flash #217
In "The Flash Times Five Is Fatal!", Barry Allen faces a terrifying new threat as a series of mysterious attacks escalate—each one tied to a deadly countdown only he can stop. Written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life with dynamic art by Neal Adams, this 1972 classic sees the Flash racing against time in a high-stakes battle where every second counts. The cover by Nick Cardy captures the urgency of the moment, a striking image that perfectly frames the tension within.
Green Arrow is forced into a deadly confrontation that ends in tragedy when he accidentally kills an attacker. After saying a quiet farewell to Dinah Drake Lance, he calls her to say goodbye forever—just as she summons Green Lantern to help him. The hero arrives to find the same thugs who attacked Green Arrow have rigged his building with a bomb, and time is running out.
