2nd Superman vs Flash Race; Professor Zoom app. & JLA app; Comic Book Impact rating of 7 (CBI)


The historical second race between Superman and the Flash has the fate of the Earth hanging in the balance! A pair of intergalactic gamblers take the Justice League hostage and force the two heroes to compete in a speed contest across the entire universe. Also, the aliens decide to lay out a variety of deadly traps just to make things interesting. Superman and Flash finally decide to team up and rescue their compatriots. Also, with a little help from Martian Manhunter, it's revealed that the entire race was secretly a set-up engineered by Reverse-Flash and Abra Kadabra. This is a popular and iconic issue with a classic cover by Carmine Infantino and Mike Esposito, as inked by Al Plastino.

After the post-war comic book slump Infantino collaborated with writer Robert Kanigher and editor Julius Schwartz to help bring back superheroes and launch the Silver Age by updating the Flash in the pages of Showcase, the reboot was a huge success and led to the superhero rebirth that has continued into the modern day, Infantino's ability to capture speed and movement on a page made his Flash believable and engaging.
