Owner's Description
Issue #107 again features two stories. One story, “the Return of the Super Gorilla” , entails Flash once again subduing Gorilla Grodd and returning him to prison in Gorilla City. The other story featured on the cover, “The Amazing Race Against Time” starts when, while trying to stop an out of control truck, Flash is beaten to the punch by a mysterious speedster who is even faster than he is. Flash soon finds that the speedster in question cannot remember who he is or where he came from. Flash takes him to the doctors to see if they can see anything wrong.
Iris tells her editor it would be a great publicity stunt to organize a charity race to see who's faster between Flash and the mystery man. Agreeing to participate in a race for charity, the mystery man beats the Flash in a race, even running backwards.
When they visit the doctor's office next, they perform shock therapy. The man's mind is restored and he loses his super speed. He tells the Flash his name is Kyri, a hominoid created by an alien race and sent out to patch a dimensional weak-spot on a distant planet. This weak-spot could allow invaders from another reality to attack.
Kyri has the Flash repair his ship and the two travel out to the planet and the Flash repairs the weak spot. Kyri thanks the Flash for his help and returns Flash home before leaving to return to his home planet.
This issue is one of two highest graded with only one 9.0 and a single 8.5 next in the census. At one time, we owned the three top copies of this iconic issue, but kept this one because we feel it is structurally superior. Despite its OW pages, it wins the eye test hands down.
Purchased in the August 2011 CL auction.
