From deathtraps to doppelgängers, Barry Allen’s sprint through the ‘70s is anything but predictable.

This era of The Flash catapults Barry Allen through stories that blend superheroics, sci-fi weirdness, and social turmoil. From cultists and cursed rings to alternate realities and psychic breakdowns, the Flash's world expands in scope and emotional depth.

Featuring classic tales with Elongated Man, Kid Flash, and a surreal collaboration with Batman and supernatural forces, this is a long-awaited chronicle of DC’s boldest storytelling era.

Includes World's Finest Comics #198-199; The Flash #197-204, #206-212, #215-229; The Brave and the Bold #99
Robert Kanigher has long been recognized as one of the most prolific and innovative writers and editors in the comic book industry.

Rock, and the Haunted Tank. He also penned innumerable war, horror, and romance scripts. Kanigher scripted the Silver Age Flash's origin story in Showcase #4 and contributed several more tales to his subsequent Showcase appearances before finally returning to the character for an extended run as regular writer on The Flash in 1970.
