Heroes never stay dead, at least not in the world of fiction and certainly not in the world of the graphic novel. Merchandise, fan pressure, the thought of a new riveting story in which to place a much loved character in, all can play their part in bringing back to existence a hero who gave up life willingly in the fight against evil. Even a true villain never stays dead for long. So that should be the case with Barry Allen, arguably the finest incarnation of D.C.’s speedy hero that ran against the wind.
