The Flash (Finest), book 1: The Human Thunderbolt
Robert Kanigher, John Broome, Gardner F. Fox et Carmine Infantino2024

A new age in comics called for a new Flash, and in 1956's SHOWCASE #4, police scientist Barry Allen inherited that mantle when a lab accident granted him super-speed abilities. Drawing inspiration from his childhood comic book hero, Barry donned a scarlet costume and became the Silver Age version of the Flash!

As the latest iteration of the Scarlet Speedster, Barry could run at amazing speeds, create whirlwinds with his arms, and vibrate his molecules so fast that he could cross barriers between realities. These abilities would help him become one of the most important characters in the pre-Crisis era.
