The Flash #146

The Flash #146 was published by DC Comics in August 1964 during the Silver Age of comic books. This issue features the work of writer John Broome and artist Carmine Infantino, the quintessential creative team for the character during this era. The story continues the high-concept, science-fiction infused adventures that characterized the Barry Allen iteration of the hero, focusing on imaginative threats and the structural evolution of the DC Universe.

Carmine Infantino’s design work on the Flash remains iconic for its streamlined aesthetic and sense of kinetic motion, which defined the visual language of the character throughout the 1960s. The issue is well-regarded by collectors for its classic cover art and its role in the long-running narrative arc established under editor Julius Schwartz. It stands as a representative example of the mid-century superhero storytelling style that prioritized tight plotting and experimental, gadget-driven conflict.
