Where it came from
Secret Origins #13 was published by DC Comics in 1987 as part of a series dedicated to retelling and updating the backstories of various iconic characters within the DC Universe. This specific issue focused on the origin of the Flash, specifically Barry Allen, and was timed to provide context for readers during the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths landscape, which necessitated a re-establishment of historical continuity for the publisher's core roster.
The issue features work by writers Mike Baron and Cary Bates, with interior art by Jackson Guice and others. The creative team aimed to balance the classic Silver Age sensibilities of the character with a more modern narrative tone, serving as both a refresher for long-time readers and an accessible entry point for those unfamiliar with the legacy of the Scarlet Speedster. It is regarded as a functional and illustrative piece of mid-eighties comic book craftsmanship that solidified the character's status following the events of the late 1985 reboot.
