The second time Superman and the Flash race each other in the pages of a comic is a very high-stakes event indeed, as the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance!

After battling among the stars Superman and Flash decide to team up and rescue their compatriots, and, with a little help from Martian Manhunter, it is revealed they had been suckered in by Reverse Flash and Abra Kadabra all along. This is a popular and iconic issue with a classic cover by Infantino and Esposito, inked by Plastino.
