Barry Allen is a forensic scientist in the comic book the Flash published by DC Comics. One night, as he is preparing to leave work, a lightning bolt shatters a case of chemicals and spills all over Allen. As a result, Allen finds that he can run extremely fast and has matching reflexes.

Now, he’ll race up buildings, across oceans, and around the world to get his man—while getting introduced to a world so much bigger than his old life of microscopes and cold cases.

He dubs himself the Flash and becomes Central City's resident costumed crimefighter. ( reproduction 16 inches by 20 inches ) ***Artwork by Peter Melonas***
