Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Flash [Barry Allen]; Iris West-Allen; Batman [Bruce Wayne]; Clive Yorkin; Frank Curtis; Green Lantern [Hal Jordan]; Ms. Maylin; Superman [Kal-El; Clark Kent]; Wonder Woman [Princess Diana]; man in a Batman costume; woman in a Black Canary costume; Dr. Nephron
Synopsis: As Iris West-Allen is killed at a party, Barry is given a dose of angel dust by an unknown person and hallucinates that he beats Clive Yorkin to death. Barry recuperates in a hospital and then goes on a rampage when his Justice League comrades refuse to help him bring Iris back from the dead. Entire story may be a drug-induced hallucination in Flash's mind; part of the story certainly is.
