Flash (2nd Series) Volume 9: The Secret of Barry Allen

In 1987, DC launched its second modern Flash series with a new face behind the red mask. The contemporary Flash, Wally West (formerly Kid Flash), is more cynical and not quite as fast as his Flash mentor, Barry Allen. Wally has a top speed of 705 miles an hour, which he can sustain for only a couple of hours before collapsing from exhaustion. The old Flash, by comparison, could travel faster than the speed of light.

Despite the comparisons, the new Flash is determined to prove the super-running shoes fit. And in this new series, Wally proves that 705 mph is just as good as light-speed when it comes to being a hero.
