Run for your life!
When a bolt of lightning struck a labratory cabinet full of chemicals,
police scientist Barry Allen gained super-speed abilities. Using his
newfound powers to fight crime, he became Central City's greatest
hero--the Flash!
Thanks to his enhanced speed, Barry can cover great distances in the
blink of an eye and vibrate his molecules so quickly that he can pass
through solid objects. But not even the Fastest Man Alive can dodge
calamity when his beloved wife, Iris, is murdered.
Grief-stricken, the Flash launches a one-man crusade to bring his wife's
killer to justice, with all evidence pointing to an escaped metahuman
convict. But is all as it seems, or is someone else responsible for
masterminding the darkest moment in Barry Allen's life? Whoever the
killer may be, they're about to learn that you can't outrun
justice...especially when the Scarlet Speedster is on your trail.
The Flash: The Death of Iris West collects The Flash #270-284 and
recounts one of the most iconic story lines in pre-Crisis history.
