The Flash: The Silver Age #3
In "The Plight of the Puppet Flash!", The Flash and The Elongated Man find themselves caught in a deadly game orchestrated by the Pied Piper, whose hypnotic music compels them to commit crimes they can’t remember. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Joe Giella, this 2018 DC tale showcases a clever twist on classic Flash villainy. The cover, a striking portrait by Evan "Doc" Shaner, captures the eerie tension of a hero trapped by sound.
