☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In "The Coldest Man on Earth!", Flash [Barry Allen] confronts Captain Cold [Leonard Snart], a villain whose icy powers turn the battlefield into a frozen maze of illusions. With his speed matched against a man who can freeze time itself, Barry must see through the cold deception before the mirages become his undoing.
In "Menace of the Super-Gorilla!", The Flash [Barry Allen] races to unravel a mystery when his friend Fred Pearson starts blacking out at the same time a strange gorilla terrorizes Central City. With Iris West by his side and a super-sonic vehicle defying physics, Barry must confront the arrival of Gorilla Grodd—first seen here—whose sinister plan threatens both Earth and Gorilla City itself.
Barry Allen is finally on time for a dinner date with Iris West—until the city’s newest menace, the Pied Piper, hijacks the streets with a sonic assault that turns the night into a symphony of chaos.
Captain Cold recruits a fiery new ally, Heat Wave, in a bold bid to outwit the Flash and win the approval of Dream Girl, a local TV star whose favor they both crave. With Iris West caught in the crossfire and the city on edge, the two villains push their schemes to the limit—just as the Flash closes in.
In "The Gauntlet of Super-Villains," Gorilla Grodd hijacks the Central City zoo to swap bodies with a gorilla, then unleashes Flash’s most dangerous rogues—Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Heat Wave, Mirror Master [Sam Scudder], The Top, and the Pied Piper—on a relentless pursuit of Barry Allen. With the help of Solovar and the mysterious tailor J. M. Leach, Flash must outwit a parade of villains while racing to reclaim his mind from Grodd’s grasp.
