☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects The Flash #130-147 and #150, continuing the Silver Age adventures of Barry Allen as the Fastest Man Alive. It features classic stories by writer John Broome and artist Carmine Infantino, including the debut of the villainous Top and the first appearance of the original Kid Flash, Wally West.
In "The Gauntlet of Super-Villains," Gorilla Grodd hijacks the Central City zoo to swap bodies with a gorilla, unleashing a wave of Flash's most notorious foes—The Top, Captain Boomerang, Heat Wave, Pied Piper, Captain Cold, Mirror Master, and even the enigmatic J. M. Leach—on Barry Allen. As the speedster fights to outwit each villain in turn, Grodd's true aim becomes clear: to seize control of Barry's mind and turn Central City into his personal dominion.
When Professor Ivo's experiment goes awry, Barry Allen finds himself temporarily imbued with the powers and appearances of the entire Justice League—one at a time—forcing him to confront the Land-Sea-Air Gang while briefly stepping into the roles of Aquaman, Ray Palmer, Hal Jordan, and Carter Hall, all in a single, lightning-fast battle.
When Ben Haddon’s device erases the Flash from Central City’s memory—except for one girl who remembers him—Barry Allen must rely on a young homeless girl, Iris West, and a housekeeper named Mrs. Prentiss to uncover the truth before the city forgets him entirely. With time running out and the villain’s plan unraveling, Barry’s only hope lies in the one person who still sees him: the girl he once saved.
When a 64th Century Policeman arrives in the present to reclaim Abra Kadabra, Flash finds himself caught between a time-traveling trickster and a lawman from the far future—forcing him to confront the truth about the villain’s origins, even as magic threatens to unravel his secret identity.
