The Flash #9

In "The Crown," Barry Allen finds himself trapped within his own body as three malevolent speedsters—each a dark echo of his legacy—take control, driving him toward a horrifying choice: harm the two women he loves most, Iris and Linda. With Wally West torn between protecting his family and answering the call, he turns to Nightwing for guidance, while Jai West, Hartley Rathaway, and Inspector Pilgrim race against time to find him before the speedster corruption consumes them all.

In a heartfelt tribute, Brittany Holzherr shares a personal reflection on her bond with Ramona Fradon, rendered in Fradon’s distinctive artistic style. The story unfolds through a series of evocative illustrations featuring characters Ramona brought to life over her seven-decade career, including Wonder Woman, Shining Knight, Plastic Man, Aquaman, Mera, Aqualad, and Metamorpho—each appearing in quiet, poignant moments that echo her legacy. With Charlie, Ramona’s devoted dog, at her side, the piece feels like a tender, visual memoir.
