The Flash Archives #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fifth volume of DC's Archive Editions series reprints classic Silver Age Flash stories from the early 1960s, showcasing the Scarlet Speedster's adventures as written by John Broome and illustrated by Carmine Infantino. The collection continues the high-quality hardcover format of the series, preserving key tales that defined the Flash's rogues gallery and science-fiction-flavored heroics.
In "The Plight of the Puppet-Flash!", The Flash and The Elongated Man find themselves caught in a deadly rhythm—forced by the Pied Piper’s hypnotic music to commit crimes they can’t remember, all while trying to solve the very mysteries they’ve unwittingly created. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino, inks by Joe Giella, and colors by Jamison, this classic tale pulses with tension and clever misdirection. The cover, penciled by Infantino and inked by Murphy Anderson, captures the eerie precision of the Pied Piper’s sinister influence.
