About this Collection

This omnibus collects The Flash #139-163 and Showcase #13-14, continuing the Silver Age adventures of Barry Allen, the Fastest Man Alive. It features classic stories by writer John Broome and artist Carmine Infantino, including the debut of the original Kid Flash and the introduction of the Cosmic Treadmill. The volume showcases the vibrant, sci-fi-infused tales that defined the Scarlet Speedster's early era.

In "The Plight of the Puppet Flash!", The Flash finds himself unwittingly committing crimes under the hypnotic sway of the Pied Piper, while The Elongated Man is similarly manipulated—both men unaware of their actions. When the two heroes cross paths trying to solve each other’s mysteries, they uncover a sinister scheme orchestrated by the Pied Piper, forcing them to work together to break the mind control. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life with dynamic art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Joe Giella, this classic tale features a standout cover by Darwyn Cooke.
