1977 Super DC Calendar for September: Flash vs Gorilla Grodd. Awestruck New Yorkers gape at the melee atop the Empire State Building - a war between the Scarlet Speedster and a giant gorilla! THE FLASH is battling GRODD, a super-gorilla from a race of intelligent mutant-apes. Grodd seeks to conquer the Earth, but the Flash has repeatedly thwarted his attempts. As he slams into Grodd, the Flash sees the gorilla’s grip on Iris Allen - Mrs. Flash - slacken! Now the Flash faces the most important race of his life - to save the woman he loves. A race only the Fastest Man Alive can win! Art by Irv Novick.
