The mysterious power known as the Speed Force is an energy field that has, over the centuries, granted incredible powers of velocity to certain heroes.

The most famous of these is the Flash, also known as the Fastest Man Alive. Ever since the days of World War II, there has been a man clad in red who can run at impossible speeds, using his power to save lives and defend those who cannot defend themselves. All between the ticks of a second.

The Flash has mastery over not just speed, but time itself, and he has often used his powers to travel though different eras and even into other dimensions. Although the Flash has not always been fast enough to outrun personal tragedy when it has come for him, he always does his best to prevent the same from happening to the people of Central City and Keystone City. In so doing, he's earned himself a spot among the greatest Super Heroes the DC Universe has ever known.

Collects THE FLASH #1-28, THE FLASH ANNUAL #1-3, MANHUNTER #8-9, SECRET ORIGINS ANNUAL #2, and pages from INVASION! #2-3, featuring over a dozen never-before-collected issues.
William Francis Messner-Loebs is an award-winning writer and author. In the 1980s and 1990s he wrote series published by DC Comics, Image Comics, Comico, and other comics publishers. Additionally he has both written and drawn original creator-owned works, such as Journey: The Adventures of Wolverine MacAlistaire.
