Where it came from
Published by DC Comics in December 1984, The Flash #340 represents a significant moment in the closing chapters of the original Barry Allen era. The story, written by Cary Bates with art by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson, features the Trial of the Flash, a long-form narrative arc that sought to address the hero's complex history and legal standing after he accidentally killed his nemesis, Professor Zoom.
The issue is noted for its gritty tone, which diverged from the typically optimistic sensibilities of the Silver Age Flash. Carmine Infantino, who had defined the visual language of the character since 1956, brought a sense of seasoned continuity to the pages, grounding the emotional stakes of the trial against the backdrop of an increasingly sophisticated comic book landscape that would soon culminate in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
