In "The Rival Flash!", the Flash faces his most bizarre foe yet when Gorilla Grodd, masquerading as William Dawson, escapes prison and returns to Gorilla City to undergo a radical transformation. Using neo-magnetic radiation to turn his fellow gorillas into devoted followers, Grodd sets his sights on Central City, aiming to win the governorship through sheer charm. Written by John Broome and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Joe Giella, this classic tale from the Silver Age showcases the Flash’s ingenuity as he counters Grodd’s hypnotic power with a clever use of solar flare radiation. The cover, by Nick Derington, captures the tension of this unforgettable showdown.
