“Freakout!”

In "Freakout!", Barry Allen spirals into a nightmarish haze after Iris West-Allen's sudden death at a party, only to be dosed with angel dust and plunged into a violent hallucination where he kills Clive Yorkin. As reality blurs and his Justice League teammates stand by, Barry's grief turns to fury—yet the line between what’s real and what’s imagined begins to dissolve. Written by Cary Bates and illustrated by Alex Saviuk, with inks by Frank Chiaramonte and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1979 DC classic features a cover by Dick Giordano that captures the story’s disorienting intensity.

As Iris West-Allen is killed at a party, Barry is given a dose of angel dust by an unknown person and hallucinates that he beats Clive Yorkin to death. Barry recuperates in a hospital and then goes on a rampage when his Justice League comrades refuse to help him bring Iris back from the dead. Entire story may be a drug-induced hallucination in Flash's mind; part of the story certainly is.
