"Wally West may be the Fastest Man Alive, but even he has trouble keeping up with all the changes in his life. When his interdimensional pal Chunk is wounded, a terrifying black hole is unleashed, forcing the Flash to run against the vortex to save not only his friend but all of Keystone City. Meanwhile, two of the oldest members of his rogues gallery, Captain Cold and Mirror Master, begin laying the foundation for their deadliest gambit yet. Complicating his life, the Flash must also contend with the Plunderer, a man with a serious grudge against the Scarlet Speedster, an enraged Gorilla Grodd, and a seeming betrayal of trust by the Pied Piper. But the most formidable player in the Flash saga, could be Julie Jackam’s illegitimate child, Josh. Has one of Wally’s past relationships come back to haunt him?" -- Back cover

In 1990, Mark Waid wrote his first Flash story. Under his keen pen, Wally West, who had already been running in the footsteps of the Flashes who came before him, matured into a Flash in his own right. Waid brought a depth of character to The Flash that changed him for good. As a child, Wally visits his Aunt Iris and her distinctly boring fiancŽ, the perpetually tardy Barry Allen. Things get interesting for Wally, first when he discovers that Barry and The Flash work together, and then when an accident in BarryÕs lab gives him powers just like his heroÕs! Young Wally is quickly in danger-not only from The FlashÕs enemies, but from the side effects of his new powers! This first book in THE FLASH BY MARK WAID series collects THE FLASH #62-68, THE FLASH ANNUAL #4-5, THE FLASH SPECIAL #1 and THE FLASH TV SPECIAL #1.

While many American superheroes have multiple powers and complex gadgets, the Flash is simply fast. This simplicity makes his character easily comprehendible for all audiences, whether they are avid comic fans or newcomers to the genre, and in turn he has become one of the most iconic figures in the comic-book industry. This collection of new essays serves as a stepping-stone to an even greater understanding of the Flash, examining various iterations of his character--including those of Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West and Bart Allen--and what they reveal about the era in which they were written.
