About this Collection

This 2010 collection from DC brings together key Silver Age stories featuring the Flash (Barry Allen) as he faces off against his iconic rogues' gallery, including Captain Cold, Mirror Master, and the Trickster. The volume reprints classic issues from the 1960s that established the dynamic between the Scarlet Speedster and his colorful, gimmick-wielding adversaries.

In "The Coldest Man on Earth!", Barry Allen races against time as a series of eerie blackouts plague his friend Fred Pearson, coinciding with sightings of a phantom gorilla in Central City. With a super-sonic vehicle leaving him in the dust and a mysterious force at play, Flash teams up with Solovar, the imprisoned leader of Gorilla City, to stop Gorilla Grodd from seizing a powerful mind-based weapon. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Carmine Infantino with inks by Joe Giella, this 2010 tale blends classic Flash suspense with a high-stakes inter-species conflict, all wrapped in a striking cover by Ethan Van Sciver.
