The Flash #294
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Fiend the World Forgot!", a group of bewildered astronauts crash-lands in the ocean near Atlantis, convinced they’ve reached an alien world—only to be baffled by Aquaman and his family’s calm insistence that they’re still on Earth, especially after being offered Hostess Fruit Pies. With Curt Swan’s expressive art and Vince Colletta’s crisp inks bringing the moment to life, this 1981 Flash issue delivers a quietly surreal twist on cosmic discovery. The cover by Don Heck and Dick Giordano captures the eerie isolation of the scene with striking precision.
In "The Fiend the World Forgot!", the Flash must confront a terrifying threat as Gorilla Grodd escapes captivity and turns a mind-wiping device against the world—erasing all memory of himself, leaving only chaos and confusion in his wake. With the very fabric of recognition unraveling, Barry Allen races to stop Grodd before the entire planet forgets even the existence of the man who once ruled with brute force and cunning.
When Firestorm finds himself separated from Martin Stein during a research mission at sea, the fragile balance of their shared consciousness begins to fray. With the storm-laden waters closing in and the ship's systems failing, the bond between Firestorm and the young man whose body he inhabits is tested like never before.
