The Flash #223
In "Make Way for the Speed-Demons!", the Flash faces a cunning foe in Dr. Light, who masquerades as three legendary speed record holders to lure the Scarlet Speedster into a trap designed to unleash a weapon on the Justice League. With clever misdirection and a race against time, Flash must outthink the deception before the plan comes to fruition. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Irv Novick, with inks by Dick Giordano, this 1973 classic features a dynamic cover by Nick Cardy.
When three legendary speed record holders suddenly appear in Central City, Flash [Barry Allen] is drawn into a high-stakes chase that quickly turns suspicious. With help from Don Blake and the help of a mysterious new ally, Frank Hobbs, Flash must unravel a clever deception orchestrated by Dr. Light [Arthur Light], who’s using the guise of speed legends to set a trap for the Justice League.
