About this Collection

This hardcover volume presents Francis Manapul's complete run on The Flash in an 'unwrapped' format, showcasing his original pencil artwork without the final inked and colored pages. It collects issues #1-12 of the New 52 series, along with the Flash Annual #1 and a story from Flash #0, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Manapul's detailed layouts and storytelling process.

In "Think Fast," Barry Allen confronts the mysterious origins of the Speed Force in a story that deepens his connection to the power that defines him. Meanwhile, the shocking rise of Grodd as King of Gorilla City unfolds with brutal consequences, and a quiet moment at Barry’s memorial reveals an unexpected new chapter in David Singh’s life. Written by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, with art and inks by Manapul, and lettered by Wes Abbott, this issue blends intimate character moments with high-stakes revelations, all rendered in Manapul’s dynamic, kinetic style—cover by Francis Manapul.
